Calculating deflection in SCL
Calculating deflection in SCL
(OP)
I looked for a thread on this but didn't see anything. If this has already been discussed, please kindly post a link.
Just noticing this in TJ-9000:
I use excel spreadsheets to calculate my beams. Does anyone have a reference for calculating bending + shear deflection for other loading conditions (point loads, partial uniform loads, cantilevers, multi-span)?

RE: Calculating deflection in SCL
Keep in mind what causes shear deflection isn't the magnitude of the shear itself, but the differential of shear across the area in question.
Don Bender has a research paper that discusses a bit of the derivation and how to approach, I'll include a photo below of how to find it.

The tricky part may be determining what the shear area is for the SCL, you could likely back into a possible solution using the manufacturers listed equation.

If I recall, I expanded on the formulation in the article and arrived at the same formula as the one contained in the TJ-9000 literature.

RE: Calculating deflection in SCL
I never design anywhere near the the bottom of the deflection barrel anyway so it does not really matter.
Time is money.
