AXIAL FORCE DIAGRAM

AXIAL FORCE

An axial force is any force that directly acts on the center axis of an object. These forces are typically stretching force or compression force, depending on direction.

Axial force is determined by width, effective length, and load and is measured in kilo pounds or kips

AXIAL FORCE DIAGRAM(AFD)

A graphical representation of the axial load acting at each section of a structural member, plotted to scale and with proper sign as an ordinate at each point of the member and along a reference line representing the length of the member.

Determine the axial forces transmitted by transverse cross sections in intervals AB, BC, and CD of the bar.

Draw an axial force diagram for the bar.

Drawn the axial force diagram.All of the forces

are in tension.
