Shear and Moment Diagram

Shear And Moment Diagram

Shear and bending moment diagrams are analytical tools used in conjunction with structural analysis to help perform structural design by determining the value of shear force and bending moment at a given point of an element. Using these diagrams the type and size of a member of a given material can be easily determined. Another application of shear and moment diagrams is that the deflection can be easily determined using either the moment area method or the conjugate beam method.

Famous quotes containing the words moment and/or diagram:

    Never for a moment have I had one doubt about my religious beliefs. There are people who believe only so far as they can understand—that seems to me presumptuous and sets their understanding as the standard of the universe.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    “God’s fire upon the wane,
    A diagram hung there instead,
    More women born than men.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
