GENERAL METHOD TO FIND INTERNAL FORCES AND MOMENTS


1. A general method for determining the internal forces and moments acting across any section of a slender member which is in equilibrium is to cut and that part is isolated from the system. The isolated part is in equilibrium. Apply the equations of equilibrium to find internal forces and moments

Positive face of given section If the outward normal points in a positive coordinate direction then that face is called as positive face Negative face of given section If the outward normal points in a negative coordinate direction then that face is called as Negative face

NOMENCLATURE FXX :- Axial force :


This component tends to elongate the member and is often given the symbol F or Fx.

FXY, FXZ :- Shear force:

These components tend to shear one part of the member relative to the adjacent part and are often given the symbols V, or VY and VZ

MXX:- Twisting moment:

This component is responsible for the twisting of the member about its axis and is often given the symbol MT or MTZ. These components cause the member to bend and are often given the symbols Mb, or Mby and Mbz.

The steps involved in solving the problems


1. Idealize the actual problem, i.e., create a model of the system, and isolate the main structure, showing all forces acting on the structure. 2. Using the equations of equilibrium calculate unknown external forces or support reactions

F=0

M= 0

3. Cut the member at a point of interest, isolate one of the segments, and repeat step 2 on that segment.

Example 3.1 As an example, let us consider a beam supporting a weight near the center and resting on two supports, as shown in Fig. 3a. It is desired to find the forces and moments acting at section C.

If the beam is not completely rigid, it will tend to bend slightly, as in Fig. b.

Continuously Distributed Loads

F is total force on the length x

In engineering most common distributions are Uniform Distribution and Linearly Varying Distributions
Mechanics of Solids Vikas Chaudhari 24

Resultants of Distributed loads


1. Two system of forces are said to be statically equivalent if it takes the same set of additional forces to reduce each system to equilibrium 2. A single force which is statically equivalent to a distribution of force is called the resultant of distributed force system 3. In solving problems with distributed loading, it is often more convenient to work with resultant of the distributed load. This is permitted while evaluating external reactions on the member and NOT when calculating internal forces and moments
Mechanics of Solids Vikas Chaudhari 25

Resultant of loads
Fig. 10 A given loading (a), when replaced by its resultant (b), produces the same support reactions but not the same internal forces and moments nor the same deflections.

Mechanics of Solids Vikas Chaudhari 27

Consider a one-dimensional loading of parallel forces of intensity q(x) in Fig.11. To determine the magnitude of its resultant R and its location x, we write the equations of equilibrium twice, once using the actual load q(x) and again using the resultant R at x. The two sets of equations must give identical reaction forces if R is to be the resultant of the distributed load.

DIFFERENTIAL EQUILIBRIUM RELATIONSHIPS


1. It is an alternative procedure for obtaining internal forces and moments for the slender members 2. Instead of cutting a beam in two and applying the equilibrium conditions to one of the segments, very small differential element of the beam will be considered 3. The conditions of equilibrium combined with a limiting conditions will lead us to differential equations connecting the load, the shear force, and the bending moment
Mechanics of Solids Vikas Chaudhari 47

4. Integration of these relationships for particular cases furnishes us with an alternative method for evaluating shear forces and bending moments.
