2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is shear in the context of structural analysis?
Think about the forces that act sideways.
Define moment in structural terms.
Consider the effect of a force causing something to rotate.
What relationship does dV/dx describe?
Think about what happens as load is applied.
True or False: The maximum moment in a beam generally occurs at the supports.
Where does bending influence most in a beam?
Given a beam fixed at one end and a point load at the free end, derive the equations for shear and moment across the length of the beam.
Consider the effects of the fixed support and the load on the beam.
For a beam with non-uniform loading, sketch the shear and moment diagrams. Include calculations for maximum shear and moment.
Break the load into sections for easier calculation.
