function y=beamDeflection(L,N)
%
% Output:
% y: Beam deflection
% Inputs:
% L: Length of the beam
% N: Number of positions
% w: Load
w=3721;
% I: Moment of inertia
I=879.45*10^-8;
% E: Young modulus
E=2.3*10^11;
% vector
x = linspace(0,L,N);
%vectors for deformed and undeformed
y0=zeros (1,N);
y=zeros (1,N);
% Loop
for i=1:N
y(i)=-((w*x(i)^(2))/(120*L*E*I))*((10*L^(3))-(10*L^(2)*x(i))
+(5*L*x(i)^(2))-(x(i)^(3)));
end

% Represent the two configurations

plot (x,y0,'b','LineWidth',2)
hold on
plot (x,y,'r','Linewidth',2)
% Add a legend
legend ('Undeformed','Deformed')
xlabel ('Position [m]')
ylabel ('Deflection [m]')
title ('Beam defelection')
