h1. Simply-supported beam P-δ

*P-δ* is a local effect associated with the axial load on displacement relative to the element chord extending between end nodes. Figure 1 illustrates the influence of P-δ on a simply-supported beam. Here, a transverse distributed load *{_}ω{_}* correlates with elastic bending-stiffness properties *{_}K{_}{*}{*}{_}{~}E{~}{_}* to induce vertical displacement *{_}δ{_}*. Geometric stiffnessAn additional flexural contribution comes from the relationship between this deformed configuration and axial loading *{_}P{_}*.
