the determination of the internal force system
acting at a given section of a beam is
straightforward:

we draw a free-body diagram that exposes

these forces and then compute the forces
using equilibrium equations

the goal of beam analysis is more involved:

we want to determine the shear force V
and the bending moment M at every
cross section of the beam

is essentially a FBD) showing the values
of the loads, including the support reactions

When you reach the right end of the beam, check

to see whether the computed values of shear and
moment are consistent with the end conditions.

If they are not, you have made an error

in the computations

 Shear and Moment:
Sign Convention

An easy way to remember this sign convention is to isolate

a small segment of the member and note that:
1. positive normal force tends to elongate the segment
2. positive shear moment tends to rotate the segment clockwise
3. positive bending moment tends bend the segment concave upward
