maximum deflection at zero shear
maximum deflection at zero shear
(OP)
Dear all
I have been reading up on deflection, particularly the position of the maximum,and it stated in the Steel Designers Manual (1980-ish edition) that the max deflection occurs where the bending-moment is maximum. Is this so?
Regards

Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

max deflection always occurs where the slope is zero (as noted above). mathematically, deflection has a turning pt (or a point of inflection) when the slope is zero ... so a beam can have move than one zero slope, and maximum deflection will be at one of these.
i think it's hard to generalise that max moment occurs at max deflection, unless you're dealing with a beam with a simple loading.
