E N D M O M E N T S & D E F L E C T I O N S The use of end moments and deflections End moments and deflections of simple lineal elements are used to construct the most complicated FEM methodologies or some other methods namely Cross method. A couple of examples of fixed end moments and maximum deflections are presented here. The relationships can be easily derived for other cases. 1 Moment Diagrams and Equations for Maximum Deflection 2
