WP 961 Beam On Two Supports: Shear Force Diagram Didactic Equipment Vocational Education Equipment Statics Fundamentals
Application of the method of sections to determine the shear force
Features
– application of the method of sections to determine the shear force
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
— under a point load
— under multiple point loads
– calculation of the shear force diagram
– comparison of calculated and measured shear force values
