In this section we’ll extend the method of Section 8.3 where we found the shear force and bending moment at a specific point to make shear and bending moment diagrams. The procedure is …

A free body diagram is a graphic, dematerialized, symbolic representation of the body (structure, element or segment of an element) in which all connecting "pieces" have been removed. A …

The construction of a proper free body diagram (FBD) is an essential first step in a structural analysis. A free body diagram is a sketch of the outline of a structure, roughly to scale and …

• 1. Draw a FBD of the entire beam, find reactions and supports • 2. Cut the beam at the point of interest • 3. Draw FBD of the section of interest including : – the external loads and reactions – …

Draw an FBD of the entire, un-cut beam and determine the reactions. Notice that only the applied loads and support reactions are included on this un-cut beam FBD. The internal loads are only …

FBD (4) : Suppose situations is as shown in figure above that a light inextensible string pulls a block of mass M on a frictionless rigid surface. Here string is acting as a force transmitting …

1). Draw a FBD of the entire truss showing the reaction forces at the supports and the external loads. Write the equilibrium equations and solve for as many unknowns as possible. 2). Locate …

In this section we'll extend the method of Section 8.3 where we found internal loadings at a specific point to make shear and bending moment diagrams. The procedure is similar except …

Solutions for the example problem from the topic of Shear Force and Bending Moment Diagrams (Equation approach) for the Statics course.

Horizontal beams should always have assumed internal loadings in these directions at the cut, indicating that you have assumed positive shear, positive normal force and positive bending …
