In this video I take a look at five methods that can be used to predict how a beam will deform when loads are applied to it. These are the double integration method, Macaulay's method, the principle ...

The integrations needed to determine beam deflections require the enforcement of the appropriate displacement and rotation boundary conditions (BCs). It is important that we be able to recognize these ...

Using a downhole motor with bent housing most effectively requires determination of its deflecting performance and designing the bottom hole assembly according to the expected deflection rate.
