Chapter 6 - BENDING First, V & M diagrams (statics), then flexure formula for stress!!

Chapter 6 – Sections 1 and 2 There are three ways to construct shear and moment diagrams: By taking cuts and summing forces and moments, i.e. Note: Get equations for V and M, just plot equations

2. By Inspection: Do not get actual equations, good if just after Vmax and Mmax

3. By Direct Integration: Good if w(x) is a complicated function, i.e. w(x) = 4sin3x w(x) = 5X3 + 3X2 + 2X +9

EXAMPLES: Use the approach that makes most sense. Inspection most common.
