n this tutorial, we’ll be learning how to draw the Shear Force Diagram (SFD) and Bending Moment Diagram (BMD) for a simply supported beam subjected to a point load.
We’ll break down the step-by-step process, starting with understanding the basic concepts of shear force and bending moment. Next, we’ll move on to the calculation of support reactions, followed by the construction of the SFD and BMD for a beam with a concentrated point load.
In this video, you will learn:
What is a simply supported beam?
How to calculate reactions at the supports using equilibrium equations.
How to plot the Shear Force Diagram (SFD) from the reactions and point load.
How to draw the Bending Moment Diagram (BMD) based on the shear force values.
Tips for analyzing the behavior of the beam under the applied load.
This tutorial is ideal for engineering students and anyone looking to strengthen their knowledge of structural analysis, especially in understanding the relationship between shear forces, bending moments, and beam deflection.
