Cantilever: end deflection due to applied moment
Cantilever: end deflection due to applied moment
(OP)
Please could someone verify (or not) the formula I have attempted to derive for the deflection at the end of a cantilever subjected to a moment about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the axis of the beam.
It's come out as " x = (MLL) / (2EIxx) "
where M is the applied moment
L is length
E is Young's Modulus
Ixx is 2nd moment of inertia for bending in a vertical plane
Many thanks

where L = length of backspan, M=moment from cantilever.
Apply this as a rigid body rotation to the cantilever then add the cantilever deflection to get the total deflection.
