Calculate Maximum Bending Moments & Stress

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the maximum bending moments and stress for a see-saw design. Participants emphasize the importance of identifying the location of maximum bending moments, specifically at the spring, to determine the appropriate beam weight needed for structural integrity. The conversation highlights the necessity of showing prior calculations or attempts to facilitate assistance effectively.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of bending moment theory
  • Familiarity with stress analysis in structural engineering
  • Knowledge of beam design principles
  • Proficiency in using engineering calculation tools
NEXT STEPS
  • Research methods for calculating maximum bending moments in beams
  • Learn about stress distribution in structural elements
  • Explore beam weight selection based on material properties
  • Investigate software tools for structural analysis, such as AutoCAD or SAP2000
USEFUL FOR

Structural engineers, civil engineering students, and designers involved in beam design and analysis will benefit from this discussion.

If you want us to help us, you need to show us what you have done to attempt the question.
Because you haven't done that, I'll just ask a question.

Where will the maximum bending moment and therefore maximum stress occur on the see-saw?
 
At the spring, i need to find out the max bending moment and stress, so i will know how to find the weight of the beam i need to use in my design that can withstand that maximum stress, can u help me please?
