This video is an introduction to shear force and bending moment diagrams. What are Shear Forces and Bending Moments? Shear ...

Beam diagrams are used as a fundamental way to teach engineers the basic of static loading. Beams are structural elements that are able to withstand load by its resistance to bending.

When a standard load-incrementation scheme is employed, the obtained load-deflection curve is incomplete because it does not include the unstable (“snap-through”) portion of the diagram.
