ENGINEERING MECHANIC - EXAMPLE 15.2 : A cantilever beam of length L = 3 m carries a uniformly distributed load (UDL) of W = 20 N / m throughout the length. Calculate the bending moment, BM of the beam near the fixed end. What is the shear force, SF at this point? Let SF = -WL, BM = -LWL/2.

Answer Posted / kangchuentat

ENGINEERING MECHANIC - ANSWER 15.2 : BM near the fixed end = -LWL/2 = -3 x 20 x 3 / 2 = -90 Nm. SF near the fixed end = -WL = -20 x 3 = -60 N.
