Beam Me Up at Rasterweb. I don’t have much current need but great starting point here if you need to dig into these.

Mech Eng basics on the web
Taking Finite Element Analysis this term which would be way easier if I actually had ever taken a basic course in mechanical engineering. Beams, trusses, springs, cantilevers are all foreign to me, I was learning about resistors and capacitors when the MechEs were learning this stuff.
Web to the rescue:
* Cantilever calculator up at efunda.
* Moments of Inertia and other basics for beams of any shape
* A ton of other basic calculations up here as well: efunda engineering calculations
* Of course Wolfram Alpha has a wealth of info as well.
Just starting to look thru iphone and ipad apps as well. Wolfram ALpha I already have, there are several civil enginnering apps as well — Statics, Civil Engineering Calculations. May try some of them.
