Deflection with two static forces

[joelclaesson]

Can someone help me with which formula I should use for the deflection of a steel tube with two static forces?

The 1.4-meter long pipe is fixed at one end and rests on a support at the other end, and has two forces symmetrically applied on the pipe.

It is formula number 2 if the pipe can change angle at both ends. If the pipe is properly fixed at one end, such as embedded in a thick concrete wall, it is a different version of the formula.

Since you have two forces, perform the calculation once for each force and add the deflections.

Jao, formula 2 applies for freely supported at both ends. I unfortunately don't have my formula collection here, but I can take a look on Monday for fixed clamping.
