This page provides formula for beam shear, moment and deflection formula for a simply supported beam with a centered load.
Nomenclature:
F = Loading force
R = Reaction force
V = Shear force
M = Moment
l = beam length
x = location
E = Modulus of elasticity
I = Moment if Inertia
y = deflection
Relationships:
--------------
R1 = R2 = F / 2
VAB = R1
VBC = -R2
MAB = F * x / 2
MBC = F / 2 * (l - x)
yAB = (F * x)/(48 * E * I) * (4 * x^2 - 3 * l^2)
ymax = -(F * l^3)/(48 * E * I)
