AXIAL FORCE, SHEAR, AND BENDING MOMENT

We learned that we can get the internal forces at any point in a structure
by: (1) taking an imaginary cut at the point; (2) drawing the free-body
diagram; and (3) using the equations of equilibrium to calculate the internal
forces. The challenge with a beam is that the internal forces can vary a
great deal along the length of the beam. Therefore, we draw what are called
shear force and bending moment diagrams, which show the internal
forces along the length of the beam. This helps us visualize where the
maximum stresses will occur.
