Deflection Calculation in Profiles: Basic Principles and Methods In engineering projects and structural design, the durability and safety of profiles are of great importance. To understand how structural elements will behave under the loads they carry, it is essential to perform deflection calculations. In this blog post, we will discuss what deflection in profiles is, how it is calculated, and which factors should be considered. What is Deflection? Deflection is the amount of vertical displacement experienced by a structural element (e.g., a beam) under load. Simply put, deflection is the shape change that a structure undergoes due to bending. The amount of deflection in structural elements is a critical parameter for design and safety. Excessive deflection can compromise the functionality and safety of the structure. Deflection Calculation Methods Deflection calculation depends on the geometry of the structure, load conditions, and material properties. Some of the most commonly...
