Definition 1
The normal force acting in the direction of the axis of the body is called the axial
force.
Forces which are tangent to the imaginary cut surface are called shear forces.
Internal moment about an axis normal to the imaginary cut surface is called torsional moment or torque.
Internal moments about axis tangent to the imaginary cut are called bending
moments.

SR.2 A hollow steel shaft shown in Fig. SR.2 has an outside diameter of 4 inches and an inside diameter
of 3 inches. Two pulleys of 24 inch diameter carry belts that have the given tensions. The shaft is supported
at the walls using flexible bearings permitting rotation in all directions. Determine the internal forces and
moments at a section passing through point A.
SR.3 Determine the internal forces and moments in the middle of the bar BC.
