Moment Diagram by Parts
‘The moment-area method of finding the deflection of a beam will demand the accurate
computation of the area of a moment diagram, as well as the moment of such area about
any axis. To pave its way, this section will deal on how to draw moment diagram by
parts and to calculate the moment of such diagrams about a specified axis.
Basic Principles
1. The bending moment caused by all forces to the left or to the right of any section is
equal to the respective algebraic sum of the bending moments at that section caused
by each load acting separately.
M=(2M)r =(2M)r
2, The moment of a load about a specified axis is always defined by the equation of a
spandrel
yoke"
where nis the degree of power of x.The graph of the above equation is as shown below
‘Area and centroid of moment
diagram (spandrel)
and the area and location of centroid are defined as follows.
