3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define shear force.
Think about how forces can cause elements to slide.
What does a moment diagram represent?
Consider how loads affect the bending behavior of beams.
What does a shear diagram show?
Recall the definition of shear in structural analysis.
True or False: The slope of the moment diagram is equal to the shear force.
Think about how shear affects bending moments.
For a cantilever beam of length L with a point load P at the free end, derive the expressions for shear and moment across the beam.
Consider the beam's supports and how it resists moment and shear.
Analyze a beam fixed at both ends with varying distributed loads and derive the shear and moment equations.
Focus on breaking the beam down into segments to analyze the effects.
