BEAMS: “Beams are slender members, often horizontal (but not always), loaded by forces in one plane, perpendicular to the beam axis”. There are two types of beam. Simply Supported Beam see Figure (a), which is supported a both ends by knife-edge simple support. Figure: (a) Cantilever see Figure (b) which is supported at one end only by a built-in support. Figure: (b) Clifford. M., (2009). An Introduction to Mechanical Engineering: Part.1. Hodder Education. FORCE: “A Force is that which changes and tend to changes the state of rest or motion of the body”. It is a vector quantity. SHEAR FORCE: “Shear Force is an internal force in any material which is usually caused by an external force acting perpendicular to the material, or a force which has a component acting tangent to the material”. The force on a beam produce sharing at all section along the length.
