SHEAR, MOMENT AND DEFLECTION OF BEAMS

FIXED SUPPORTS - UNIFORM LOAD

Nomenclature:
w = Uniform loading force
R = Reaction force
V = Shear force
M = Moment
l = beam length
x = location
E = Modulus of elasticity
I = Moment if Inertia
y = deflection

Relationships:
--------------
R1 = (w * l) / 2
R2 = (w * l) / 2
M1 = -(w * l^2) / 12
M2 = -(w * l^2) / 12
V = w / 2 * (l - 2 * x)
M = w / 12 * (6 * l * x - 6 * x^2 - l^2)
y = -(w * x^2)/(24 * E * I) * (l - x^2)
ymax = -(w * l^4) / (384 * E * I)
