Beam Bolt Force Shear Shear force

AI Thread Summary

A beam with a shear force limit of x and a bolt with a lower shear force limit of y will have the overall system's maximum allowable shear force determined by the weaker component, which is y. If the bolt's limit y is less than the beam's limit x, then the system cannot safely exceed the shear force of the bolt. Understanding the relationship between the components is crucial for determining the system's maximum shear force. Clarification on the specific case is needed to provide a more detailed analysis. The interaction between the beam and bolt is essential for assessing the overall system's performance.

if a beam has a shear force limit of x
and a bolt that is passing through the beam has a shear force limit of y
and y < x would the maximum allowable shear force for the whole system become y?

So far the whole system is a mystery to me. Why don't you describe the exact case?

Thread 'How Do I Draw This Shear and Moment Diagram?'

Hi everyone, Can anyone tell me how do I draw the shear and moment diagram of below pic using the method like below pic? This is my attempt/work of the reacting forces: Thank you very much for the help.
