Deflection at the midpoint of a cantilever beam is the vertical displacement or bending experienced by the beam at the exact center (midpoint) of its length when subjected to an applied load or loads. The deflection at the midpoint of a cantilever beam under a point load P applied at the free end can be

A distributed load in strength of materials refers to a load that is uniformly distributed over a certain length, area, or volume of a structural element. Unlike a concentrated load, which acts at a specific point, a distributed load acts continuously along a portion of the element’s length or area. For a simply supported beam

The bending moment in strength of materials refers to the internal moment or torque that causes a structural element, such as a beam, to bend or undergo deformation. It is a measure of the bending effect induced by external forces or loads applied to the structure. Bending moments play a crucial role in structural analysis

The bending moment M at the location of the point load can be calculated for different beam configurations. For a simply supported beam with a point load at the center, the bending moment is: where: M = Bending moment at the point load location (in newton-meters, N·m) P = Applied point load (in newtons,
