Statics: Internal Forces & Diagrams

1. The document discusses determining internal forces like shear and bending moment in structural members. 2. It provides a recap of analyzing internal forces by cutting members at points and drawing free body diagrams, and determining forces using equations of equilibrium. 3. The goals are to determine internal forces using the method of sections, formulate equations for shear and bending moment, and draw shear and bending moment diagrams for beams under different load cases.

Chapter 7: Internal Forces
Goals and Objectives
• Determine the internal loadings in members using the method
of sections

• Generalize this procedure and formulate equations that


describe the internal shear and bending moment throughout a
member

• Be able to construct or identify shear and bending moment


diagrams for beams when distributed loads, concentrated
forces, and/or concentrated couple moments are applied
Recap: Internal loadings in structural members
Structural Design: need to know the loading acting within the member in
order to be sure the material can resist this loading
Cutting members at internal points reveal internal forces and
moments.

Recap: Sign conventions:
Recap: Procedure for analysis:
1. Find support reactions (free-body diagram of entire structure)
2. Pass an imaginary section through the member
3. Draw a free-body diagram of the segment that has the least number of loads
on it
4. Apply the equations of equilibrium
Find the internal forces at point C.
Find the internal forces at point C.
1. A column is loaded with a vertical 100 N force. At P
which sections are the internal loads the same? • 100 N
A) P, Q, and R B) P and Q Q
R
C) Q and R D) None of the above.
2. Determine the magnitude of the internal loads 100 N
(normal, shear, and bending moment) at point C.
0.5m 80 N

A) (100 N, 80 N, 80 N m) 1m •
B) (100 N, 80 N, 40 N m) C
C) (80 N, 100 N, 40 N m)
D) (80 N, 100 N, 0 N m )
Find the internal forces and moments at C
Shear Force and Bending Moment Diagrams
Goal: provide detailed knowledge of the variations of internal shear force and
bending moments (V and M) throughout a beam when perpendicular distributed
loads, concentrated forces, and/or concentrated couple moments are applied.
Procedure
1. Find support reactions (free-body diagram of entire structure)
2. Specify coordinate x (start from left)
3. Divide the beam into sections according to loadings
4. Draw FBD of a section
5. Apply equations of equilibrium to derive V and M as functions of x: V(x), M(x)

Draw the shear and bending moment diagrams for the beam.
Note that since the applied load is a single distributed load along the entire length of the
beam, then V(x) and M(x) are continuous functions. We will see that V(x) and M(x) will be
discontinuous functions when multiple loads are applied to a beam, and these discontinuities
will happen at the transitions between loading regions.
