Title of Shear Force and Bending Moment

i. The shear force at a cut section of a beam is equal to the algebraic sum of the forces acting to the left or right of that section. ii. The bending moment at a section of a loaded beam is equal to the algebraic sum of the moments to the left or right of that section. iii. Shear force and bending moment at a point in a beam can be determined by equilibrium analysis of the portions of the beam on either side of a cut section, and identify the maximum values helps determine the maximum normal and shearing stresses.

TITLE

Shear force and Bending Moment for simply Supported Beam


OBJECTIVE
i.
ii.

To show that the shear force at cut section of a beam is equal to the
algebraic sum of the force acting to the left or right of the section
To show a bending moment at a section of a loaded beam is equal to
the algebraic sum of the moment to the left or right of the section

THEORY
Beams are defined as structural members supporting loads at various
points along the member. Transverse loadings of beam are classified as
concentrated or distributed loads. One of the main concerns that should
be put into consideration when designing beams for strength is how
material and thecross section of a beam of a given selected span should
be selected if the beam is not to fail under a given loading.
Applied loads result in internal forces consisting of a shear force (from the
shear stress distribution) and the bending moment (from the normal stress
distribution). For prismatic beam, that is straight beam with a uniform
cross section, their design depends primarily upon the determination of
the largest value of the bending moment and shear force created in the
beam by a given loading. The determination of these valus and of the
critical sections of the beam in which they occur is greatly facilitated by
drawing a shear force diagram and bending moment diagram. The
variation of the shear force V (N) and the bending moment M (Nm) along
the beam may be obtained either by drawing free body diagram of
successive portions of the beam or from relationship that involved the
applied load, shear force and bending moment.
Determination of the maximum normal stress ( max) and maximum
shearing stress (t max) requires identification of maximum internal shear
force and bending moment. Shear force and bending moment at appoint
are determined by passing a section through the beam and applying
equilibrium analysis on the beam portions on either side of the section as
shown in Figure 1 and 2. Sign conventions for shear force V and V and
bending couple M and M.
