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 ?

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.
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
