7.2 SHEAR AND MOMENT EQUATIONS & DIAGRAMS

Beams are by far the most common and

oft used structural members.
Most beams are long prismatic bars and
the loads are usually applied normal to
the axes.
Beams are identified by their type, their
corss section and the types of load they
carry.

7.2 SHEAR AND MOMENT

EQUATIONS & DIAGRAMS
Shear and Moment functions must be
determined for each segment between
two discontinuities of loading.
These functions will be valid only for
the regions 0 to a for x1, a to b for x2
and from b to L for x3.
When plotted, these functions appear as
shown in the diagrams.

Procedure
for Making
Shear & Moment
Diagrams
SHEAR
AND MOMENT
DIAGRAMS
Determine all the support reactions and resolve all forces into
components perpendicular and parallel to beams axis.
Specify coordinates x from the left end and extending up to each
load discontinuity.
Section the beam at each distance x and draw a FBD of each
such segment x of the beam showing N, V & M.
Develop equations for V by summing forces for each segment.
Develop equations for M by summing moments about the
sectioned end of the segment, for each segment.
Plot Shear Diagram (V vs x) and Moment Diagram (M vs x).
Positive values are plotted above x axis and negative below the x
axis.
Draw shear and bending moment diagrams directly below the
FBD of the beam.
