Shear-Force and Bending-Moment Diagrams

When solving the problems for Section 4.5, draw the shear-force and

bending-moment diagrams approximately to scale and label all critical

ordinates, including the maximum and minimum values.

Probs. 4.5-1 through 4.5-10 are symbolic problems and Probs. 4.5-11

through 4.5-24 are numerical problems. The remaining problems (4.5-25

through 4.5-30) involve specialized topics, such as optimization, beams

with hinges, and moving loads.

Problem 4.5-1 Draw the shear-force and bending-moment diagrams for

a simple beam AB supporting two equal concentrated loads P (see figure).

284 CHAPTER 4 Shear Forces and Bending Moments

Problem 4.5-30 A simple beam AB supports two connected wheel loads P

and 2P that are distance d apart (see figure). The wheels may be placed at

any distance x from the left-hand support of the beam.

(a) Determine the distance x that will produce the maximum shear force

in the beam, and also determine the maximum shear force Vmax

.

(b) Determine the distance x that will produce the maximum bending

moment in the beam, and also draw the corresponding bending-

moment diagram. (Assume P 5 10 kN, d 5 2.4 m, and L 5 12 m.)

Solution 4.5-30 Moving loads on a beam

(a) Maximum shear force

By inspection, the maximum shear force occurs at

support B when the larger load is placed close to, but

not directly over, that support.

(b) Maximum bending moment

By inspection, the maximum bending moment occurs

at point D, under the larger load 2P.
