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.
Simply supported beam with a single eccentric concentrated load. An illustration of the Macaulay method considers a simply supported beam with a single eccentric concentrated load as shown in the adjacent figure. The first step is to find . The reactions at the supports A and C are determined from the balance of forces and moments as
Simply supported beam with a constant 10 kN per meter load over a 15m length. Take the beam shown at right supported by a fixed pin at the left and a roller at the right. There are no applied moments, the weight is a constant 10 kN, and - due to symmetry - each support applies a 75 kN vertical force to the beam. Taking x as the distance from ...
This analysis was done for a specific point on a simply supported beam, but the concept can be extended to arbitrary structures. With any problem whose mathematical analog is the same fourth order ordinary differential equation as above, with similar boundary conditions, the first eigenvalue of the associated homogeneous problem can be obtained ...
Figure 1: (a) This simple supported beam is shown with a unit load placed a distance x from the left end. Its influence lines for four different functions: (b) the reaction at the left support (denoted A), (c) the reaction at the right support (denoted C), (d) one for shear at a point B along the beam, and (e) one for moment also at point B. Figure 2: The change in Bending Moment in a ...
Simply supported beams: The displacement is zero at the locations of the two supports. The bending moment M x x {\displaystyle M_{xx}} applied to the beam also has to be specified. The rotation φ {\displaystyle \varphi } and the transverse shear force Q x {\displaystyle Q_{x}} are not specified.
In engineering, beams are of several types: [2] Simply supported – a beam supported on the ends which are free to rotate and have no moment resistance. Fixed or encastré (encastrated) – a beam supported on both ends and restrained from rotation. Overhanging – a simple beam extending beyond its support on one end.
Using the beam sign convention and cutting the beam at B, we can deduce the figure shown. Part (e) of the figure shows the influence line for the bending moment at point B. Again making a cut through the beam at point B and using the beam sign convention, we can deduce the figure shown.
