Q

What are Internal forces

A

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

Q

Will the Following Beam produce a Positive Shear Force at Point A , or a negative Shear force?
Explain Why?

A

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

Q

Which of the Following Shear Force Diagrams is correct?

A

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

Q

Which of the Following Bending Moment Diagrams is correct?

A

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.

What is Bending moment?

A

How much an object bending / moving at that specific point.
Higher the magnitude, higher the chance of breaking there

21
Q

What is the bending moment at a Pin/Roller Support

A

0 unless there is an externally applied moment at the support

Has to be 0 , as the support doesn’t move

22
Q

Explain the Concept of a Neutral Surface

A

When a Beam is Bent, some of the atoms are compressed and some are stretched

A Beam is composed of an infibate amount surfaces (cross sections)
Some of these Surfaces are Compressed and some are Stretched

Compressed surfaces have -ve strain , Tensile surfaces have +ve Strain

So observing these surfaces, as you go from negative strain to positive, there must be a surface that experiences 0 strain and zero stress. - called a neutral surface

23
Q

What is a Neutral Axis

A

The Intersection of the Neutral Surface and the cross-section of the beam

24
Q

What are the 4 Assumptions in calculating the Deformation of a Beam

A
  • Cross Section of a Straight Beam Remains plane when a beam deforms due to bending
    ( take two points on opposite sides of the beam, before bending they are reflections of one-another in the neutral axis , after bending this still must be the case)
  • The Neutral Surface and Neutral Axis is subjected to zero Normal Stress
  • Longitudinal Strain Varies lineraly from Zero at the Neutral Axis to the maximum at the outer fibres of the beam
  • Material is Homogenous and Elastic for the whole duration of bending
    Hence we assume
    Stress = Elastic Constant * Strain

34
Q

What is the maximum stress acting on the beam made of the following cross section , if it is bent with a bending moment of 2000 kNM

A
35
Q

what does the second moment of area tell us about a shape

A

It’s a measure of a shape’s ability to resist bending or flexure when subjected to a load. The greater the second moment of area, the more resistance the shape has to bending.
