This video is an introduction to shear force and bending moment diagrams. What are Shear Forces and Bending Moments? Shear forces and bending moments are resultants which are used to conveniently ...

The transverse load P will produce a shear force V in the positive y direction on a mathematical cut through the beam at point “a”. This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on ...

Say we consider a beam made up of thin layers (laminae) aligned with the longitudinal axis of the beam, and for which the laminae can slide with respect to each other along the longitudinal axis as ...
