Use 1 for maximum stress and 2 for maximum deflection and 3 for
spring constant of the beam
Notes
Use this form to estimate the bending of a cantilever beam with a
concentrated end loading. The maximum stress is at the top surface
near the clamped edge and the maximum deflection is at the free
end. The deflection plot of the beam under load is provided.
Assumptions
-The default material is Silicon with a Young's modulus of
180GPa.
-The beam has uniform cross section.
-The mass of the beam is negligible compared to the end load.
