Cantilever Beam Experiencing Bending & Torsion
Thank you for your responses. Jim, the max deflection according to FEA is 0.0075 inches which is comparable to my calculations. I have access to AISC and will take a look at that. Thanks for the tip. BA, my hand calculations agree with yours which lead me to scratch my head at the FEA results...- designcoeng

Cantilever Beam Experiencing Bending & Torsion
BAretired, Thanks for your reply. I have attached a crude diagram. Due the load being offset from the beams centerline, a moment is created.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=816a3562-7a5b-4128-9559-faec83646639&file=BOTTOM_LEFT_ADJUSTMENT_ARM.pdf- designcoeng

Cantilever Beam Experiencing Bending & Torsion
thread507-180666 I have a cantilever beam on which a load is creating bending and torsion. I am looking at using 5" x 5" x 3/8" square HHS ASTM A500 Gr B material. This material has a yield of 45,700 psi and ultimate tensile of 58,000 psi. FEA is resulting a 33,690 psi torsional stress...- designcoeng
