4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the definition of a shear force?
Think about forces acting sideways.
How do you calculate a bending moment?
Consider the effect of force at a distance from the pivot point.
What is the main purpose of shear force in beam design?
Think about how stability is maintained in structures.
True or False: A bending moment always causes downward deflection in a beam.
Reflect on how loads affect deflections.
A simply supported beam of 8 m length carries a uniform load of 4 kN/m. Calculate the shear force and bending moment at mid-span.
Use the shear and moment equations for uniform loads.
A cantilever beam of length 5 m has a point load of 10 kN at the free end. Calculate maximum bending moment and shear at the fixed end.
Apply static equilibrium principles to solve.
