Beams experience two types of internal forces when loaded: shear forces and bending moments. Shear forces attempt to cut or tear the beam apart while bending moments cause the beam to bend or flex. Shear and bending diagrams graphically represent the magnitude and location of these internal forces along the length of the beam under various loading conditions.
