Stress in beams

Designation of stress in various systems of beams in which shear force and bending torque are calculated analytically. Static equilibrium equations are written for every analyzed example.
This page contains set of solved examples from mechanics of materials. On this it’s possible to find various examples in which stress in beams is designated. Examples which are placed here you can learn following:
• designation of equilibrium equations
• calculation of shear force
• designation of bending torque
• designation of torsion torque
• designation of maximum stress

Frame is built with four steel rods. Frames shape is a square. In one point frame is connected to the ground by unmovable support. Frame is also connected to two additional unmovable supports by rods. In specific time on one of frame’ side works higher temperature. As a result of higher temperature one of frame’s rods had extended its length and thermal stresses appeared. Hooke’s law will be applied to find reaction forces in frame. Frame’s dimensions are known.
