Thanks all. This is a bit of a unique situation where it will be a quite tall post with a VERY heavy vehicle impacting at low speed at any point (above say 4') along the cantilevered member.
I'm trying to come up with a reasonable approach for the design of these members and their...
Let's say you have a 10' cantilevered beam with an ultimate moment capacity (not design moment @ yield, but capacity @ ultimate stress) of 200 k-ft. Is there an approach to find what the approx. total deflection (elastic+plastic) would be at the end of the cantilever if the point load resulting...
