Bending Flashcards
Define Beams
Members that have loads applied perpendicular to the longitudinal axis
What are Internal forces
reaction forces that oppose the motion of the beam as a result of a load
ie. if you stretch the beam, the internal force will provide unequal but opposite force
What is a sagging beam
Beam with positive bending moment
looks like a smile
What is a hogging beam
Beam with negative bending moment
looks like a frown
Define Positive shear force
Clockwise Shear Force
(Left side has a force Upwards, internal side has a force Downwards)
Define Negative shear force
clockwise Shear Force
(Right side has a force Upwards, Left side has a force Downwards)
Will the Following Beam produce a Positive Shear Force at Point A , or a negative Shear force?
Explain Why?
Positive Shear Force
Point Force is trying to push beam down
Hence a Shear force is going to be in a direction to oppose this motion.
hence positive shear force

Draw the Bending Moment and Shear Force diagram for the Following Beam
Draw the Bending Moment and Shear Force diagram for the Following Beam
Draw the Bending Moment and Shear Force diagram for the Following Beam
Which of the Following Shear Force Diagrams is correct?
E
Beam is Hogging, internal forces want to pull the beam clockwise , hence positive shear force
Point Load , the shear force of every cross-section will equal the point load, not dependant on distance
Which of the Following Shear Force Diagrams is correct?
C
Beam is Hogging, internal forces want to pull the beam clockwise , hence positive shear force
Distributed load, the total shear force of the cross sections is directly proportional to the distance
Maximum Shear Force at support of beam , Q = W(L-x)
Which of the Following Bending Moment Diagrams is correct?
D
Beam is Hogging, Hence Negative Bending Moment
Point Load , Bending moment as you go towards the point load will decrease, as there is less distance between the cross-section and the point load.
Which of the Following Bending Moment Diagrams is correct?
A
Beam is Hogging, Hence Negative Bending Moment
Distributed load,Maximum Shear Force at support of beam , Q = W(L-x) , hence Maximum bending moment is at the same point
