Shear Force and Bending Moment

Shear Force and Bending Moment
 Shear Force: is the algebraic sum of the

vertical forces acting to the left or right of
a cut section along the span of the beam
 Bending Moment: is the algebraic sum of

the moment of the forces to the left or to
the right of the section taken about the
section

Bending of Beams
 It is important to distinguish
between pure bending and
non-uniform bending.
 Pure bending is the

deformation of the beam under
a constant bending moment.
Therefore, pure bending
occurs only in regions of a
beam where the shear force is
zero, because V = dM/dx.
 Non-uniform bending is
deformation in the presence of
shear forces, and bending
moment changes along the axis
of the beam.
What the Bending Moment does to the Beam
 Causes compression on one face and tension on the

other
 Causes the beam to deflect

Pure Bending
Pure Bending: Prismatic members

subjected to equal and opposite couples
acting in the same longitudinal plane
Symmetric Member in Pure Bending
 Internal forces in any cross section are
equivalent to a couple. The moment of the
couple is the section bending moment.
 From statics, a couple M consists of two equal

and opposite forces.
 The sum of the components of the forces in any
direction is zero.
 The moment is the same about any axis
perpendicular to the plane of the couple and
zero about any axis contained in the plane.
Fx    x dA  0
M y   z x dA  0
M z    y x dA  M
 These requirements may be applied to the sums

of the components and moments of the
statically indeterminate elementary internal
forces.
Bending Deformations
Beam with a plane of symmetry in
pure bending:
member remains symmetric
 bends uniformly to form a circular arc
 cross-sectional plane passes through arc center

and remains planar
 length of top decreases and length of bottom

increases
 a neutral surface must exist that is parallel to

the upper and lower surfaces and for which the
length does not change
 stresses and strains are negative (compressive)

above the neutral plane and positive (tension)
below it
Strain Due to Bending
Consider a beam segment of length L.

After deformation, the length of the neutral
surface remains L. At other sections,

Curvature

of curvature, ,
implies large
curvature of the
beam, , and
vice versa. In
