Figure illustrates a simply supported beam with distributed load which uniformly increases from 0 at a x 0 to wunit length at b x. However, the tables below cover most of the common cases. Deflection of a beam when a beam is stressed either under its own weight or by external forces, its axis deforms into a curve called the deflection curve of the beam, this deflection yx is governed by a relatively simple linear fourthorder differential equation. In particular, in many civil engineering structures like bridge elements, the simplysupported beams are widely confronted and hence, they are in the focus of the current study.
