Static of Beam and Internal Force ( Mechanical Engineering )

AI Thread Summary
Understanding the statics of beams involves analyzing shear and moment diagrams based on loading and support conditions. To create these diagrams, first calculate the support reactions, as they are essential for determining internal forces. The slope of the shear diagram reflects the loading distribution, while the slope of the moment diagram indicates the shear at that point. Numerous online resources provide examples and explanations for better comprehension. Mastering these concepts is crucial for success in a Mechatronics Major.

I am currently in my first year in Mechatronics Major, and now I am trying to understanding about statics of beam. How about draw the shear and moment curve? How about if the force is variation and have graph too.
Just like this for example


||
V the curve of this like sinus or cosinus for example.
|||||||||||||||||||||| => 4N/m
V V V V V V V V V V V

how to calculate ?
thanks

Shear and moment in a beam depend on loading and support conditions. Solve for the support reactions first. There are numerous examples on the web (do a 'google' search on shear and moment diagrams). The slope of the shear diagram at any point is the loading distribution at that point. The slope of the moment diagram at any point is the shear at that point. It's probably best to look through the voluminous websites for clear examples.
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
