The stress due to shear force is maximum along the neutral axis of the beam (when the width of the beam, t, is constant along the cross section of the beam; otherwise an integral involving the first moment and the beam's width needs to be evaluated for the particular cross section), and the maximum tensile stress is at either the top or bottom ...
A cantilever Timoshenko beam under a point load at the free end For a cantilever beam , one boundary is clamped while the other is free. Let us use a right handed coordinate system where the x {\displaystyle x} direction is positive towards right and the z {\displaystyle z} direction is positive upward.
The cantilever method is considered one of the two primary approximate methods (the other being the portal method) for indeterminate structural analysis of frames for lateral loads. Its use is recommended for frames that are taller than they are wide, and therefore behave similar to a beam cantilevered up from the ground.
However, physical interpretations of bending moments in beams and plates have a straightforward interpretation as the stress resultants in a cross-section of the structural element. For example, in a beam in the figure, the bending moment vector due to stresses in the cross-section A perpendicular to the x-axis is given by

Shear and Bending moment diagram for a simply supported beam with a concentrated load at mid-span. Shear force and bending moment diagrams are analytical tools used in conjunction with structural analysis to help perform structural design by determining the value of shear forces and bending moments at a given point of a structural element such as a beam.
Like other structural elements, a cantilever can be formed as a beam, plate, truss, or slab. When subjected to a structural load at its far, unsupported end, the cantilever carries the load to the support where it applies a shear stress and a bending moment. [1] Cantilever construction allows overhanging structures without additional support.
The starting point is the relation from Euler-Bernoulli beam theory = Where is the deflection and is the bending moment. This equation [7] is simpler than the fourth-order beam equation and can be integrated twice to find if the value of as a function of is known.
