Analysis Double Integration-Based of Deflection in Cantilever Beam Structures

Abstract

This study analyzes the deflection behavior of cantilever beam structures using a
theoretical approach based on the double integration method. Cantilever beams, which are
commonly used in shipping engineering and building structures, are prone to deflection due
to vertical loads such as point loads, uniform loads, and applied moments. The analysis
focuses on mathematically determining the deflection profile through solving elastic curve
differential equations, in order to understand the deformation pattern and structural
response more clearly. This research utilizes a qualitative analysis method with
reinforcement through literature study and software-assisted validation. The results confirm
the importance of deflection analysis in structural planning to ensure safety, prevent
excessive deformation, and support optimal engineering decision-making, especially in
maritime applications.
