Shear-Moment (V-M) Diagrams: Cantilever Beam

Auteur:Ana Kwon

Onderwerp:2D Vectoren (tweedimensionaal), Diagrammen, Vectoren

The real-world design of beams requires a detailed understanding of how the internal shear force V and bending moments M vary at each point along the beam’s length. Shear and Moment diagrams, or V&M diagrams, provide a graphical description of how the internal shear and moment change along the length of a beam.

Use the Figure to Draw Shear and Moment Diagrams

Use the interactive Figure below to determine the shear and moment diagrams for the cantilever beam with a distributed load. Drag and move the red dots to change the shape of the distributed load, and the location of point loads and couple moments on the beam. Use the sliders to change their magnitudes and directions. Use the Figure to answer the following questions.
