In this video, we are going to learn how to draw a shear force diagram and bending movement
00:12
diagram for a cantilever beam as shown in figure.
00:16
So, the statement is given as, Draw a shear force and bending movement diagram for a cantilever
00:23
beam AB 1.5m long is loaded as shown in figure.
00:30
So this is the cantilever beam AB of length 1.5m and carrying a uniformly distributed load
00:36
of 1kN per meter or a length of 1m and there is one point load of 2kN acting on the beam
00:45
at point B.
00:48
So for this setup, we have to draw shear force and bending movement diagrams.
00:55
So first of all, I will draw the free body diagram for this beam section.
00:59
Here, first we have to convert this UDL into point load.
01:07
So to convert this, I will multiply this UDL value i.e. 1kN per meter with the length over
01:15
which the UDL act, that is 1 meter.
01:20
So here, I will get the point load of 1kN.
01:24
Now this calculated point load is act on the midpoint of length over which the UDL act.
01:30
Now, this type of problem, we are going to solve in three steps.
01:35
In the first step, we have to calculate the value of support reaction force Ra.
01:44
So to calculate this value, I will use the condition of equilibrium i.e. summation of
01:51
Fy equal to 0.
01:53
That means addition of all forces in the vertical axis equal to 0.
01:58
While doing the addition of all vertical forces, I will consider upward forces as positive and
02:07
downward forces as negative.
02:09
Here, Ra is the vertical reaction force.
02:12
So I will add this force with plus sign.
02:16
And the converted point load is acting on the beam in the downward direction.
02:19
So as per the sign convention, I will add this 1kN force with negative sign.
02:26
And also there is one point load of 2kN in the downward direction.
02:31
So I will add this 2kN downward force with negative sign.
02:37
So from this, I will get the value of reaction force Ra, 3kN.
02:44
So now with the help of this calculated value of Ra, I will further calculate the values of
02:49
shear forces at all the points of beam.
02:53
So the next step is, Calculations of shear forces.
02:57
And for shear force calculations, our sign convention is, upward forces are considered as positive
03:04
and downward forces are considered as negative.
03:09
And here I will start the shear force calculation from left hand side of the beam.
03:15
For cantilever beam, while calculating the shear force at a particular point load, you should
03:21
calculate shear force values for left side and right side of that particular point load.
03:28
But while calculating the shear force at uniformly distributed load, i.e. UDL, you should calculate
03:34
shear force values at start point and end point of UDL.
03:38
That is shear force at point A and shear force at point C, we need to calculate.
03:45
But in the problem, at point A, there is reaction force Ra and this is the point load.
03:52
And as it is point load, here I will calculate the shear force values for left side and right
03:57
side of point A.
04:00
Therefore, first to calculate shear force at point A to its left, i.e. Sf at A to the left
04:08
equal to.
04:09
So, as you can see, there is no force acting at left side of point A. Therefore, Sf at A
04:16
to the left equal to 0 kN.
04:19
So, to draw a shear force diagram, I will draw a horizontal reference line of 0 kN shear force.
04:29
So, here I will mark the point of 0 kN shear force on the reference line.
04:35
Now, if I go to the section to the right of point A, then there is reaction force Ra in
04:41
the upward direction.
04:42
So, as per the sign convention, I will consider upward force as positive.
04:48
So, here the shear force is plus 3 kN.
04:53
Here as the shear force value is positive, hence I will mark the point of 3 kN shear force
04:59
above the reference line of 0 kN shear force.
05:03
And I will connect these two points with the vertical line.
05:06
Now, the point C is the end point of UDL.
05:10
So, I am taking section to the point C, that is Sf at point C.
05:18
And here I will carry forward previous value of shear force up to point A to its side, which
05:23
is 3 kN.
05:24
And to the left side of point C, there is UDL of 1 kN per meter that we had converted into
05:31
point load of 1 kN in the downward direction.
05:34
So, as per the sign convention, I will consider downward force as negative.
05:39
So, I will add this converted point load with negative sign.
05:44
So, by calculating, this will get the shear force value at point C as 2 kN.
05:51
Here as the shear force value is positive, hence I will mark the point of 2 kN shear force above
05:58
the reference line of 0 kN shear force.
06:03
And here the type of load is UDL over length 1 meter.
06:06
Hence, to draw a shear force diagram, I will indicate UDL with an inclined line.
06:11
So, I will connect these two points with the inclined line.
06:15
Now, at point B, there is point load.
06:19
Therefore, first to calculate shear force at point B to its left, i.e. SF at B to the left
06:27
equal to, so here I will carry forward previous value of shear force up to point C, which is
06:35
2 kN.
06:36
And when we go to the left of point B, then there is no forces acting at the left of point
06:42
B.
06:43
Therefore, SF at B to the left equal to 2 kN.
06:46
Here, as you can see, there is no variation in shear force values, hence I will make the
06:52
horizontal line with shear force value as 2 kN.
06:56
Now, next to calculate shear force at point B to its right, i.e. SF at point B to its right
07:04
equal to, so here I will carry forward previous value of shear force up to point B to its left,
07:13
which is 2 kN.
07:15
And when we go to the right side of point B, then there is one point load in the downward
07:20
direction.
07:21
So, as per the sign convention, I will consider downward force as negative.
07:27
So, here I will add this point load of 2 kN with negative sign.
07:32
So, here, plus 2 kN minus 2 kN gives me the value of shear force as 0 kN.
07:40
That is, SF at point B to its right equal to 0 kN.
07:45
And I will connect these two points with the vertical line.
07:49
And here in shear force diagram, whatever the portion drawn above the reference line, I
07:54
will show this by plus sign.
07:56
So, here I have completed the shear force diagram.
08:00
Now, the next step is, Calculations for bending moment.
08:05
The bending moment at a section of beam is calculated as the algebraic sum of movement
08:11
of all the forces acting on one side of the section.
08:16
So, to calculate bending moment, we can start either from left end of beam or from right
08:22
end of beam.
08:24
Here, I will start from the right side.
08:27
So, whenever you are calculating the bending moments, you should remember these conditions.
08:33
So, here for cantilever beam, the condition is, at the free end, the bending moment will
08:40
be 0.
08:41
That is, BM suffix B equal to 0 kN.
08:45
So, to draw bending moment, firstly, I will draw the reference line of 0 kN bending moment,
08:54
so I will mark this value with a point on the reference line.
08:59
So, now we have to calculate bending moment at point C.
09:04
Here, in case of cantilever beam, while we are doing the calculations for bending moment,
09:11
at a particular point, you should always add movement of all the forces present from the
09:18
free end of cantilever beam up to that particular point at which we are calculating the bending
09:24
moment.
09:26
So, for bending moment calculations, our sign convention is, for sagging effect of beam,
09:31
the force is considered as positive and for hogging effect of beam, the force is considered
09:38
as negative.
09:39
So, for point load of 2 kN, due to this, the beam shows hogging effect and for hogging effect
09:48
of beam, I will consider this force as negative.
09:52
So, I will add this point load of 2 kN with negative sign and I will multiply this point load
10:00
with the distance from point of action of force, that is 0.5 m.
10:06
So, by calculating, this will get the value minus 1 kNm.
10:11
So, as it is negative value of bending moment, hence I will mark this point below the reference
10:17
line of bending moment 0 kNm.
10:21
And to draw bending moment, I will join these two points with the inclined line.
10:28
Now, next we have to calculate the bending moment at point A.
10:34
Here, the right-hand side of point A, there is UDL of 1 kNm per meter that we had converted
10:41
into point load of 1 kNm.
10:43
Due to this, the beam shows hogging effect and for hogging effect of beam, I will consider
10:50
this converted point load as negative.
10:52
So, I will add this converted point load with negative sign and I will multiply this converted
10:59
point load with the distance from point of action of force, that is 0.5 m.
11:06
And also there is one point load of 2 kNm, so due to this, the beam shows hogging effect
11:13
and for hogging effect of beam, I will consider this point load as negative.
11:18
So, here I will add this point load with negative sign.
11:22
And I will multiply this point load with the distance from point of action of force, that
11:27
is 1.5 m.
11:31
So by calculating, this will get the value minus 3.5 kNm.
11:37
So as it is negative value of bending moment, hence I will mark this point of bending moment
11:43
below the reference line of bending moment 0 kNm.
11:46
And to draw bending moment, I will indicate UDL with a parabolic curve.
11:52
Hence, I will join these two points with a parabolic curve.
11:57
Now, since I can see this bending moment diagram is drawn below the reference line of 0 kNm bending
12:05
moment, hence I will show this portion by minus sign.
12:08
So, here I have completed the shear force diagram and bending moment diagram for this cantilever
12:15
beam.
12:16
So, here I have a
