Deflections of Beams
• For our choice of axes (x positive to the right and y positive upward),
the angle of rotation is positive when counterclockwise.
This equation is valid for a beam of any material, provided the rotations are small
quantities

This method for finding deflections and angles of rotation is extremely limited in
its application because only one deflection (or one angle) can be found.
Furthermore, the only deflection (or angle) that can be found is the one
corresponding to the load (or couple).
