If you use STAAD (Structural Analysis and Design) software to model and analyze beams and columns, you might wonder how to interpret the bending moment and shear force diagrams that the program ...

Under the action of a transverse load we see below how the beam deflects in the absence of shear stiffness. Focus, in particular, on the deflection at the ... Euler-Bernoulli theory for the bending of ...

A plot of the axial force, shear force, bending moments and deflections is shown ... of 200 GPa and a second moment of area (I) of 4.6875*10**-6 m4. Determine the vertical displacement at x = 1 m. A ...

shear force, bending moment and deflection diagrams. The package is based mainly on engineering concepts of statics as described in (Hibbeler, 2013), and Python packages Sympy (Meurer et al., 2017) ...
