Bending Stress and Deflection

This application is related bending stresses and deflection on a uniformly loaded span.Β  The weight of the pipe and product. If there is more than one loading, superimposing individual solutions will be required.Β  To account for unknow stresses multiply the longitudinal stress by 1.1.
Fixed End Supports:

Simple Supports:

𝑦 = 5 times 𝑦 for fixed ends
𝑆 = 1.5 times 𝑆 for fixed ends  

Cantilever Support:

𝑦 = 48 times 𝑦 for fixed ends
𝑆 = 6 times 𝑆 for fixed ends
𝑆 and 𝑦 on the schematics indicate the points od MAXIMUM stress deflection.
