Deflection of Beams: (Macaulay's Method)

This document discusses the deflection of beams using Macaulay's method and the area moment method. It provides examples of calculating the slope and deflection of cantilever beams and simply supported beams subjected to different loading conditions such as point loads, uniform distributed loads, opposite triangular loads, and central point loads. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate solving problems using these methods. Formulas for the slope and deflection equations are provided in terms of the beam's properties and loading conditions.
