Internal Forces in Planar Structures: Equilibrium Analysis and Free Body Diagrams, Study notes of Material Engineering

An explanation of how to find internal forces in planar structures using equilibrium analysis and free body diagrams. It includes examples of calculating support reactions, axial forces, shear forces, and bending moments for a beam subjected to various external forces. Students can use this information to understand the principles of structural mechanics and apply it to solve similar problems.

What you will learn

  • How can you use the equations of equilibrium to find the internal forces in a free body diagram?
  • How do you calculate the support reactions for a planar structure using equilibrium analysis?
  • What is the process for finding the internal forces at a given point in a planar structure?
  • What are the three internal forces developed in each section of a planar structure to ensure equilibrium?
  • What is the difference between an axial force, shear force, and bending moment in a structural member?

Internal Force Example Problem

A beam is supported by a pin support at point A and extends over a

roller support at point D. The beam is and subjected to a uniformly

distributed load from A to B, a point moment at point C an inclined

point load at point E as shown.

Find the internal forces at points q , r , s , and t.
