• Review internal/external forces
• How to find internal forces
• Sample problems

External/Internal Forces
• External forces arise from contact or
gravitational attraction
– Point and distributed loading
– Weight
• Internal forces are forces arising to hold
bodies together
– Internal stress is a form of an internal force

Exposing Internal Forces
• To analyze the stress at a given location in a
part, we need to know the forces at that
particular section.

Shear and Bending Diagrams
(Secs. 7.3, 7.4)
• Topic is also called transversely loaded beams
• Beam classifications and boundary conditions
• Internal forces and the components’ specific rolls
• Relation between shear and bending
• Generation of shear and bending diagrams
ME221
Lecture 14

Types of Beams by Supports
• Transversely loaded beams have several
standard configurations
• Determinate beams have the same number
of reactions as nontrivial equilibrium eqns.

Internal Force Component Rolls
• Force components
P
– Axial is along beam
Vz

– Shearing forces are transverse components
• Moment components

What is expected for shear and bending
diagrams?
1. Show FBD and statics for each section
2. Determine equation for V(x) and M(x)
3. Draw shear and bending diagrams indicating linear or
parabolic
4. Label end points of diagram as well as every region
endpoint

Shear and Moment Diagrams using Sectioning Method
Generate a shear / bending diagram as follows:
1. Find reaction forces
2. Take a section on each side of an applied force or
moment and inside a distributed load
(take a new section whenever there is a change in the load
or shape of the beam)
- draw a FBD and sum forces / moments
3. Repeat 2 along the length of the beam.
w(x) distributed load
V(x) shear force
M(x) moment
