Shear and Bending Moment Diagrams
• Determination of maximum normal and shearing
stresses requires identification of maximum
internal shear force and bending couple.
• Shear force and bending couple at a point are
determined by passing a section through the beam
P. R. Shakya

and applying an equilibrium analysis on the beam

portions on either side of the section.
• Sign conventions for shear forces V and V’ and
bending couples M and M’
