Max Deflection = wl3/48EI.
Elongation = pl/AE.

Now, max deflection/elongation.
=(Wl3/48EI)/(pl/AE).
=(l/2d)2.

The maximum deflection for a simply supported beam is WL^3/48EI.

Strain, e =stress/E

Stress=F/A.
e= F/AE,
but F=WL; e= WL/AE.

The ratio = Max. deflection/Elongation=(WL^3/48EI)/(WL/AE).
But A=b.d; I=bd^3/12.

Therefore we have our ratio as= (WL^3/48E*(b * d^3/12))/(WL/b * d * E)= L^2/4d^2= (L/2d)^2.

Elongation= WL/AE.
Deflection= WL3/48EI.

(WL/b * d * E)/( WL^3/48E * b * d3/12) = (L/2d)2.

Yes, Correct @Himanshu.

WL3/48EI = deflection (I= BD3/12).
WL/AE = elongation (A=BD).

Elongaton is wl/2ae.

Deflection = WL3/48EI (correction).

Elongation= WL/AE.
Deflection= WL3/EI.

(WL/b * d * E)/( WL3/E * b * d3/12) = (L/2d)2.
