Simply Supported Shaft Deflection Calculator
A simply supported round shaft with a central point load uses the same beam formula as a simply supported beam, with I from shaft diameter.

Deflection formula
delta = F * L^3 / (48 * E * I)
Round-shaft inertia
I = pi * d^4 / 64
Bending stress
sigma = M * c / I
