 Load intensity, shear force, and bending moment
relationships, the general case
• Consider an element of length dz of a beam of unsymmetrical cross-section
subjected to shear forces, bending moments, and a distributed load of varying
intensity, all in the yz plane, as shown in Fig. 16.14. The forces and moments
are positive in accordance with the sign convention previously adopted. Over
the length of the element, we assume that the intensity of the distributed load
is constant. Therefore, for equilibrium of the element in the y direction,

 DEFLECTIONS DUE TO BENDING
• We noted that a beam bends about its neutral axis whose inclination
relative to arbitrary centroidal axes is determined from Eq. (16.21).
Suppose that, at some section of an unsymmetrical beam, the deflection
normal to the neutral axis (and therefore an absolute deflection) is z, as
shown in Fig. 16.15.
 DEFLECTIONS DUE TO BENDING
• In other words, the centroid C is displaced from its initial position CI
through an amount z to its final position CF. Suppose also that the center
of curvature R of the beam at this particular section is on the opposite side
of the neutral axis to the direction of the displacement z and that the radius
of curvature is r. For this position of the center of curvature and from the
usual approximate expression for curvature, we have
