Beams are important design elements in mechanical engineering and building construction that can deform under load. In linearelastic material behaviour, the bending line, also known as elastic line, is used to determine the deflection of beams. Deflection can be determined at any point on the beam using the influence coefficients and commutative theory. Beams are subjected to load transversely in the axial direction, which leads to deflection.
