To calculate the deflection of a beam, we can use the following MATLAB code:
main.m610 chars22 lines
In this code, we define the parameters of the beam, such as its length, Young's modulus, and second moment of area. We also define the distributed load on the beam, and discretize it using a set number of elements. Finally, we calculate the deflection of the beam at each element using the basic beam equation, and plot the result.
