In the field of Mechanics of Materials, beams are structural members that are subjected to loads perpendicular to their longitudinal axis, causing them to deform. The analysis of beam deflection and slope is crucial in engineering design to ensure that the beam can withstand various loads without failing. One of the methods used to analyze beam deflection and slope is the moment-area method. This method is based on the relationship between the bending moment and the curvature of the beam.
