DIAGRAMS
BEAMS
horizontal structural members designed to support vertical loads
GENERAL PROCEDURE:
Pass a cutting plane on the desired portion of the beam.
Isolate the FBD of the segment (left or right) that will be more practical
to analyze.
Indicate the positive internal shear and internal bending moment as
per convention.
Set a variable distance x for which the equilibrium equations will be
valid.
The equation for SHEAR V is obtained by SUMMING FORCES ALONG
THE VERTICAL; for BENDING MOMENT M, by SUMMING MOMENTS
ABOUT THE CUTTING PLANE.
IMPORTANT POINTS
The degree-of-curve n of the
DISTRIBUTED LOAD will
correspond to a degree-of-curve
(n+1) for the SHEAR DIAGRAM and
a degree-of-curve (n+2) for the
BENDING MOMENT DIAGRAM.
