1. Chapter 5 Analysis and Design of Beams for Bending 

2. 5.1 Introduction -- Dealing with beams of different materials:
steel, aluminum, wood, etc.
-- Loading: transverse loads
 Concentrated loads
 Distributed loads

3. -- Supports  Simply supported  Cantilever Beam  Overhanging
 Continuous
 Fixed Beam

4. A. Statically Determinate Beams
-- Problems can be solved using Equations of Equilibrium
B. Statically Indeterminate Beams
-- Problems cannot be solved using Eq. of Equilibrium
-- Must rely on additional deformation equations to solve the problems.
FBDs are sometimes necessary:

5. FBDs are necessary tools to determine the internal
(1) shear force V – create internal shear stress; and
(2) Bending moment M – create normal stress
From Ch 4:
(5.1)
(5.2)
Where I = moment of inertia
y = distance from the N. Surface
c = max distance

6.  Recalling, elastic section modulus, S = I/c, hence
(5.3)
hence
For a rectangular cross-section beam,
(5.4)
From Eq. (5.3), max occurs at Mmax 
It is necessary to plot the V and M diagrams along the length of a beam. 
to know where Vmax or Mmax occurs!

7. 5.2 Shear and Bending-Moment Diagrams
Determining of V and M at selected points of the beam

8. Sign Conventions
The shear is positive (+) when external forces acting on the beam tend to shear off the beam at the point indicated in fig 5.7b
2. The bending moment is positive (+) when the external forces acting on the beam tend to bend the beam at the point indicated in fig 5.7c
 Moment

9. 5.3 Relations among Load, Shear
and Bending Moment
Relations between Load and Shear
Hence,
(5.5)

10. VD – VC = area under load curve between C and D
Integrating Eq. (5.5) between points C and D
(5.6)
VD – VC = area under load curve between C and D
(5.6’) 1
(5.5’)

11. Relations between Shear and Bending Momentor 
(5.7)

12. MD – MC = area under shear curve between points C and D
(5.7)
MD – MC = area under shear curve between points C and D

13. 5.4 Design of Prismatic Beams for Bending
-- Design of a beam is controlled by |Mmax|
(5.1’,5.3’)
Hence, the min allowable value of section modulus is:
(5.9)

14. Question: Where to cut? What are the rules?
Answer: whenever there is a discontinuity in the loading conditions, there must be a cut.
Reminder:
The equations obtained through each cut are only valid to that particular section, not to the entire beam.

16. 5.5 Using Singularity Functions to Determine Shear and Bending Moment in a Beam
Beam Constitutive Equations

17. Notes: Sign Conventions: In this set of equations, +y is going upward
and +x is going to the right.
2. Everything going downward is “_”, and upward
is +. There is no exception.
3. There no necessity of changing sign for an y
integration or derivation.
Sign Conventions:
1. Force going in the +y direction is “+”
2. Moment CW is “+”

18. Rules for Singularity Functions
(5.15)
(5.14)

19. Rule #2: Distributed load w(x) is zero order: e.g. wo<x-a>o
2. Pointed load P(x) is (-1) order: e.g. P<x-a>-1
3. Moment M is (-2) order: e.g. Mo<x-a>-2

20. Rule #3:

22. Rule #4:
Set up w = w(x) first, by including all forces, from the left to the right of the beam.
Integrating w once to obtain V, w/o adding any constants.
Integrating V to obtain M, w/o adding any constants.
Integrating M to obtain EI , adding an integration constant C1.
Integrating EI to obtain EIy, adding another constant C2.
6. Using two boundary conditions to solve for C1 and C2.
