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.

GitHub - UrumeseJoy/Shear-Force-Bending-Moment-Diagram-Plotter: MATLAB script to plot Shear Force and Bending Moment Diagrams for a simply supported beam with multiple supports. Handles point loads, ...

In this video we explore bending and shear stresses in beams. A bending moment is the resultant of bending stresses, which ...
