Cantilever Beam Bending: Material Deflection & Stress Lab (2D)

2D cantilever-beam bending lab: real Euler-Bernoulli deflection math (δ=FL³/3EI), tension/compression stress coloring, and a yield-strength failure check across steel, aluminum, wood and rubber.

This 2D companion drives real Euler-Bernoulli cantilever beam mechanics: pick a material (steel, aluminum, wood or rubber, each with its own real Young's modulus and yield strength), set the tip load, beam length and rectangular cross-section width/height, and watch the beam bend by the closed-form deflection formula δ = FL³/(3EI) while a tension/compression stress gradient renders along its length and a failure flag fires the instant computed stress exceeds the material's real yield strength.
