When a cantilever beam is loaded with a Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL), the maximum bending moment occurs at the fixed support or the point of fixation. In other words, the point where the cantilever is attached to the wall or the ground experiences the highest bending moment.
A cantilever beam is a structural element that is fixed at one end and free at the other end. When a UDL is applied to the free end of the cantilever, the load is distributed uniformly along the length of the beam. As a result, the bending moment gradually increases from zero at the free end to its maximum value at the fixed support.
The bending moment at any section along the cantilever can be calculated using the following formula for a UDL:
Bending Moment (M) = (UDL × distance from support) × (length of the cantilever - distance from support)
At the fixed support, the distance from the support is zero, which means that the bending moment at that point is:
Maximum Bending Moment (Mmax) = UDL × length of the cantilever
Therefore, the maximum bending moment in a cantilever beam loaded with a UDL occurs at the fixed support. This information is essential for designing and analyzing cantilever structures to ensure they can withstand the applied loads without failure.
The max bending moment occurs where the beam meets the wall. The max bending moment is the total UDL multiplied by the distance from its central point to the support.
bending moment varies with the distance & the load carried by the beam. And also there is a hogging behavior and a sagging behavior occurs in the beam. According to the sign convention hogging and sagging bears opposite signs.(- & +). So if we are asked to find the maximum bending moment whether it is sagging or hogging we should consider the maximum value without considering the sign. That value is called maximum absolute bending moment.
0, bending moment is at maximum
Positive and Negative are just directions. The main concern is whether there exist a bending moment or not. Then according to sign convention we classify bending moment as positive or negative. Elaborating on this point, If clockwise bending moments are taken as negative, then a negative bending moment within an element will cause "sagging", and a positive moment will cause "hogging" Sagging and hogging moments are important to differentiate. As hogging causes tension in the upper part of the beam x-section whereas sagging causes tension in the lower part of the x-section. This concept is of great importance in designing reinforced concrete members as we have to provide steel rebar in the zone of beam having tensile stress as concrete is weak in tension.
I assume this is a cantilever beam with one end fixed and the other free, the load starts at the free end and continues for 4.5 m if w is the load distribution then it has a force at centroid of 4.5 w acting at distance of (6.5 - 4.5/2 )from the end, or 4.25 m The max moment is 4.5 w x 4.25 = 19.125
The term "point of contraflexure" is often used in structural engineering, specifically in the context of analyzing and designing beams subjected to bending loads. In simple terms, the point of contraflexure is the location along the length of a beam where the bending moment is zero. When a beam is subjected to bending loads, it experiences tensile (positive) bending moments and compressive (negative) bending moments along its length. The bending moment varies along the beam, reaching a maximum at the points where the bending is the most significant. These points are usually located near the supports of the beam. However, in some cases, particularly in continuous beams or beams with complex loading conditions, there may be a section along the beam where the bending moment changes direction from positive to negative or vice versa. This section is known as the point of contraflexure. At the point of contraflexure, the bending moment is zero, and the beam's curvature changes direction. This point is essential in the analysis and design of structures as it affects the internal forces and stresses within the beam. Identifying the point of contraflexure is crucial for engineers to ensure the beam's stability and design it appropriately to handle the bending loads effectively. The bending moment diagram is used to visualize the variation of bending moments along the length of the beam and to locate the point of contraflexure if it exists.
Cry man, cry!
zero
Shear is the rate at which bending moment changes or shear is its derivative with respect to span. The integral, bending moment, goes through a maximum when shear goes from positive to negative or vice-versa.
MAXIMUM SHEAR force bending moment is zero shear force change inside is called bending moment
bending moment varies with the distance & the load carried by the beam. And also there is a hogging behavior and a sagging behavior occurs in the beam. According to the sign convention hogging and sagging bears opposite signs.(- & +). So if we are asked to find the maximum bending moment whether it is sagging or hogging we should consider the maximum value without considering the sign. That value is called maximum absolute bending moment.
It is parabolic, or second order:M = q x squared/2An excellent software to view the profiles of Shear force & Bending moment diagrams.http://www.mdsolids.com/
0, bending moment is at maximum
Max BM for a cantilever would be @ the point of support and would be equal to WL/2 where W=wL Max BM for a cantilever would be @ the point of support and would be equal to WL/2 where W=wL Edit- As said above the max bending moment for a cantilever will be at the supportFor a distributed load M=wL2/2 where w=the fractured distributed load and L= the leaver arm For a point loadM=PL where P=the point load and L= the leaver arm *Having a cantilever means you will have reinforcing in the top of the beam/slab till a distance after the beam
a simple definition " IT'S A COUPLE OF FORCE HAVING EQUAL MAGNITUDE BUT OPPOSITE IN DIRECTION & HAVING VERY LESS DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM"
It is the maximum stress at which a material will fail when subject to flexural ( moment producing) bending loads. These stresses occur a the material outer fibers.
Assuming linear elastic bending with small deformations and planes perpendicular to the neutral axis remain plane after bending, then for a rectangular beam: Moment = (Yield Stress)*(Second Moment of Area)/(Distance of surface to Neutral Axis) For Ultimate Bending Moment, assume stress is uniform throughout the beam, and acting through half the distance from surface to neutral axis, then: Moment = Stress * (Area/2)*(h/4 + h/4) For a better visualization check out Popov's textbook, Engineering Mechanics of Solids, Chapter 6, Section 6.10
