Self-weight deformation occurs only in vertically hanging members because self-weight acts downward, causing maximum deformation at the free end; the general formula is δ = (W × L) / (2 × A × E), where W is self-weight, L is length, A is cross-sectional area, and E is Young's modulus. For cylinders, δ = (γ × L²) / (2 × E), and for cones, δ = (γ × L²) / (6 × E). A bar of uniform strength maintains constant stress intensity at every point under self-weight and axial loads, requiring a non-prismatic shape with cross-sectional area varying exponentially as A(x) = A₀ × e^(γx/σ). Compound bars consist of two different materials with the same length subjected to a common load through a rigid plate, where load distribution follows axial rigidity (P₁ = P × A₁E₁/(A₁E₁ + A₂E₂)) and strain compatibility (δ₁ = δ₂) ensures equal deformation in both materials.
