Shear force, bending moment, and deflection diagrams for simply-supported and cantilever beams

Defaults: steel (E = 200 GPa), IPE 200-ish section. Sign convention: downward loads, sagging moment positive.

Shear force V(x)peak: 5000 N
Bending moment M(x)peak: 10000 N·m
Deflection y(x)peak: -0.8333 mm

Beam analysis in your browser

Draws live shear force, bending moment, and deflection diagrams using standard closed-form solutions from mechanics of materials (Euler–Bernoulli beam theory). Supports simply-supported and cantilever beams under a point load or uniformly distributed load — perfect for civil and mechanical engineering coursework, quick design checks, and building intuition about how load position changes the diagrams.
