To Draw the Shear Diagram

1. The shear at A is equal to RA


2. The load between AB is
negatively increasing from zero at A to
wo at B, thus, the slope of the shear
diagram between A and B is
decreasing from zero at A to -wo at B.
3. The load between AB is linear,
thus, the shear diagram between AB is
a parabola (2nd degree curve) with
vertex at A and open downward as
stated with the decreasing slope in
number 2.
4. The shear at B is equal to -RB.
See the magnitude of RB in the
solution above. To compute; shear at
B = shear at A - load between AB.
5. The shear diagram between AB is zero at C as shown. Location of C, denoted
by xC can be found by squared property of parabola as follows.
xC2RA=L2RA+RBxC2RA=L2RA+RB
xC2=RAL2RA+RBxC2=RAL2RA+RB
xC2=(110woL)L2110woL+25woLxC2=(110woL)L2110woL+25woL
xC2=110woL312woLxC2=110woL312woL
xC2=15L2xC2=15L2
xC=15√LxC=15L   from left support
 
To Draw the Moment Diagram
1. The shear diagram from A to B is a 2nd degree curve, thus, the moment
diagram between A and B is a third degree curve.
2. The moment at A is zero.
3. Moment at C is equal to the moment A plus the area of shear diagram
between A and C.
MC=23xCRAMC=23xCRA
MC=23(15√L)(110woL)MC=23(15L)(110woL)
MC=woL2155–√MC=woL2155
4. The moment at B is equal to -MB, see the magnitude of MB from the solution
above. It is more easy to compute the moment at B by using the load diagram
instead of shear diagram. In case, you need to solve the moment at B by the use of
shear diagram; MB = MC - Area of shear between CB. You can follow the link for
an example of finding the area of shear diagram of similar shape.
5. The moment is zero at point D. To locate this point, equate the moment
equation developed in double integration method to zero.
M=RAx–wox36LM=RAx–wox36L   See double integration method above for
finding M.
M=woLx10–wox36LM=woLx10–wox36L
 
At D, x = xD and M = 0
0=woLxD10–woxD36L0=woLxD10–woxD36L
woxD36L=woLxD10woxD36L=woLxD10
xD26L=L10xD26L=L10
xD2=3L25xD2=3L25
xD=3–√L5–√=3–√L5–√×5–√5–√xD=3L5=3L5×55
xD=15√5LxD=155L   from left support
