What is Shear Force and bending Moment

 

                                                      Shear Force and bending Moment

Shear force: Resistance to keep beam in equilibrium against external transverse loads. Shear force at any section is equal to the sum of transverse loads either to the right-hand side or left-hand sight of the section.

Bending moment:  Bending moment at any section is equal to sum of moments either to the right-hand side or left-hand side of the section.

Shear force diagram (SFD): A graphical representation of vertical (or) transverse forces along the length of a beam.

Sign convention for shear force and bending moment at a section:

 

Relation Between Intensity of Loading, Shear Force and Bending Moment:

·         Between W = intensity of load;

                                V = shear force;

                                M = bending moment

                           W = dv/dx = d2M/dx2

·         Slope of shear force diagram is intensity of load.

·         Rate of change of shear force is intensity of load

                          V = dam/dx

·         Slope of bending moment diagram is shear force.

·         Rate of change of bending moment is shear force.

·         Maximum magnitude of bending moment occurs at a point where shear force changes its sign.
