Internal Forces in Beams ‘The determination of internal forces is a fundamental step in the design of members ‘that carry loads. Only after this computation hhas been made can the design engineer select the proper dimensions for a member or choose tine material from which the member should be fabricated. Internal Forces in Beams P__ The force component that is perpendicular to the cross section, tending to elongate or shorten the bar, is called the normal force V_ The force components lying in the plane of the ‘cross section, tending to slide (shear) the parts ofthe bar lying on either side of the cross section relative to one another, are called shear forces. T The component of the resultant couple that tends to twist the bar is called twisting moment, ot torque. M_ The component ofthe resultant couple that tend to bend the bar are called bending ‘moments.
