Shear and Moment Diagrams II

Learning outcomes

Statics Review:
  • Construct shear and moment diagrams for cantilever beams.
  • Construct shear and moment diagrams for simply-supported beams with overhangs.
  • Explain the Principle of Transmissibility.
This Course:
    1. Apply the Principle of Transmissibility to triangular loads and construct the proper curvature in the shear and moment diagrams.
    2. Construct shear and moment diagrams for beams supported by deformable surfaces.
    3. Apply shortcuts for calculating area under the curve for quadratic, cubic, and quartic functions.
