Shear forces and bending moments are resultants which are used to conveniently represent the internal forces that develop within a beam when external loads are acting on it.

Bending beam. The transverse load P will produce a shear force V in the positive y-direction on a mathematical cut through the beam at point “a”.This shear force is directly responsible for the shear ...
