Abstract

This study investigates the maximum deflection of simply supported beam and cantilever beam under point loading. Experiments
on these beams have been carried out and maximum deflection has been noted. The experiment has been carried out for different
loads. The results obtained have been validated through theoretical and numerical approach. Numerical approach includes
mathematical and simulation approach. Euler–Bernoulli beam equation is considered for theoretical, finite element methods
(FEM) for mathematical and ANSYS 14.0 for simulation approach. The results obtained through theoretical, FEM and simulation
is very near to experimental results
