Moment Diagram for Boomerang shaped Beam

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on creating a moment diagram for a "boomerang" shaped beam, with the user seeking guidance on relevant equations and methodologies after a long absence from mechanics. They plan to analyze the beam's fringes to estimate the loads at various points, having already gathered the beam's dimensions. A key point mentioned is that shear is derived from the integration of forces, while the moment is obtained through the integration of shear. The user is looking for assistance in applying this information to effectively solve for the moment diagram. Overall, the thread emphasizes the need for clarity on mechanics principles to tackle the problem.

Moment Diagram for "Boomerang" shaped Beam

Hey y'all,
I'm trying to determine a moment diagram for this "boomerang" shape (a picture is attached). Its been a long while since I have done mechanics, and I can't remember the relevant equations or how to best approach this problem. I will be using the analysis of the fringes (given by the colors in the beam) to determine the approximate loads applied at each location, and I have the dimensions of the beam, I just don't know how to use this information to solve for the moment diagram. Any relevant information is much appreciated.

Sheer is integration of the forces; moment it integration of the shear.
