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 double clamped beam
under its own weight. The maximum stress is at the top surface near
the clamped edge and the maximum deflection is at the middle of the
beam. The deflection plot of the beam under its weight is
provided.
Assumptions
-The default material is Silicon with a Young's modulus of
180GPa.
-The beam has uniform cross section.
-The weight of the beam is uniformly distributed.
-There is no other load acting on the beam other than its own
weight
