  2. Fixed end moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_end_moment

    The fixed end moments are reaction moments developed in a beam member under certain load conditions with both ends fixed. A beam with both ends fixed is statically indeterminate to the 3rd degree, and any structural analysis method applicable on statically indeterminate beams can be used to calculate the fixed end moments.

  3. Rigid frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_frame

    If K s L/EI ≥ 20, it is acceptable to consider the connection to be fully restrained (in other words, able to maintain the angles between members). If K s L/EI ≤ 2, it is acceptable to consider the connection to be simple (in other words, it rotates without developing moment). Connections with stiffnesses between these two limits are ...

  4. P-delta effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-Delta_Effect

    By superposition, the structure responds to this moment by additional bending and displacement at the top. In some sense, the P-delta effect is similar to the buckling load of an elastic, small-scale solid column given the boundary conditions of a free end on top and a completely restrained end at the bottom, with the exception that there may ...

  5. Statically indeterminate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statically_indeterminate

    =: the sum of the moments (about an arbitrary point) of all forces equals zero. Free body diagram of a statically indeterminate beam. In the beam construction on the right, the four unknown reactions are V A, V B, V C, and H A. The equilibrium equations are: [2]

  6. Shear and moment diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_and_moment_diagram

    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.

  7. Cantilever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever

    The end fixed rigidly to the central fuselage is known as the root and the far end as the tip. In flight, the wings generate lift and the spars carry this load through to the fuselage. To resist horizontal shear stress from either drag or engine thrust, the wing must also form a stiff cantilever in the horizontal plane.

  8. Euler–Bernoulli beam theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler–Bernoulli_beam_theory

    At the built-in end of the beam there cannot be any displacement or rotation of the beam. This means that at the left end both deflection and slope are zero. Since no external bending moment is applied at the free end of the beam, the bending moment at that location is zero. In addition, if there is no external force applied to the beam, the ...

  9. Structural engineering theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering_theory

    Strength depends upon material properties. The strength of a material depends on its capacity to withstand axial stress, shear stress, bending, and torsion.The strength of a material is measured in force per unit area (newtons per square millimetre or N/mm², or the equivalent megapascals or MPa in the SI system and often pounds per square inch psi in the United States Customary Units system).
