• The internal forces in a straight two-force member can produce only tension or compression in that
member
• The internal forces in any other type of member (Beams, Cables) usually produce shear and bending
as well.
• This lecture is devoted to the analysis of the internal forces in an important type of engineering structures,
namely,
• Beams, which are usually long, straight prismatic members designed to support loads applied at
various points along the member.
• This chapter is concerned with the variation in shear and bending moment in beams subjected to various
combinations of loadings under different conditions of support
• Straight two-force member AB is in equilibrium under application of F and
-F.
• In the case of a straight two-force member, the internal forces that the two
portions of the member exert on each other are equivalent to axial forces;
There exists no shear or bending
• The internal forces also produce shear and bending. The force F is an axial force; the force V
is called a shearing force; and the moment M is known as the bending moment at J.
Beams
• Beam - structural member designed to support loads applied at various points along its length
• The term beam refers to a slender bar that carries transverse loading; that is, the applied force are
perpendicular to the bar
• In most cases, the loads are perpendicular to the axis of the beam and will cause only shear and
bending in the beam. When the loads are not at a right angle to the beam, they will also produce axial
forces in the beam.
• The internal forces give rise to two kinds of stresses on a transverse section of a beam: (1) normal stress
that is caused by bending moment and (2) shear stress due to the shear force.
• Knowing the distribution of the shear force and the bending moment in a beam is essential for the
computation of stresses and deformations
• A concentrated load is one that acts over so small distance that it can be assumed to act at a point
• Distributed load acts over a considerable length of the beam
It may be uniformly distributed over the entire length or over part of the length
• Distributed load may also be uniformly varying or nonuniform
In a nonuniformly varying or triangular load, the intensity of loading increases or decreases at a
constant rate
Point Load
• Reactions at beam supports are determinate if they involve only three unknowns. Otherwise,
they are statically indeterminate.

• The determination of the internal force system acting at a given section of a beam : draw
a free-body diagram that expose these forces and then compute the forces using
equilibrium equations.
• The goal of the beam analysis -determine the shear force V and the bending moment M
at every cross section of the beam.
• To derive the expressions for V and M in terms of the distance x measured along the
beam. By plotting these expressions to scale, obtain the shear force and bending
moment diagrams for the beam.
• The shear force and bending moment diagrams are convenient visual references to the
internal forces in a beam; in particular, they identify the maximum values of V and M.
• A force that tends to bend the beam downward is said to produce a positive bending
moment.
• A force that tends to shear the left portion of the beam upward with respect to the right
portion is said to produce a positive shearing force.
