Description

WP 960 Beam On Two Supports: Shear Force & Bending Moment Diagrams Didactic Equipment Vocational Training Equipment Statics Fundamentals

Application of the method of sections to determine internal reactions of the beam

Features

– application of the method of sections to determine internal reactions of the beam

– direct indication of shear force and bending moment at a section on the beam

Learning objectives/experiments

– calculation of the reactions arising from the static conditions of equilibrium

– application of the method of sections to calculate the internal forces and moments

— under a point load

— under multiple point loads

– calculation of the shear force diagram

– calculation of the bending moment diagram

– comparison of calculated and measured values for shear force and bending moment
