Determination of maximum normal and shearing stresses requires identification of maximum internal shear force and bending couple. Shear force and bending couple at a point are determined by passing a section through the beam and applying an equilibrium analysis on the beam portions on either side of the section. Sign conventions for shear forces V and V and bending couples M and M

Treating the entire beam as a rigid body, determine the reaction forces Section the beam at points near supports and load application points. Apply equilibrium analyses on resulting free-bodies to determine internal shear forces and bending couples Identify the maximum shear and bending-moment from plots of their distributions. Apply the elastic flexure formulas to determine the corresponding maximum normal stress.

For the timber beam and loading shown, draw the shear and bendmoment diagrams and determine the maximum normal stress due to bending.

The largest normal stress is found at the surface where the maximum bending moment occurs.
m =
M
m a x

m a x

Considering the entire beam as a freebody, determine the reactions at A and D. A simply supported steel beam is to carry the distributed and concentrated loads shown. Knowing that the allowable normal stress for the grade of steel to be used is 160 MPa, select the wide-flange shape that should be used. Develop the shear diagram for the beam and load distribution. From the diagram, determine the maximum bending moment. Determine the minimum acceptable beam section modulus. Choose the best standard section which meets this criteria.

A safe design requires that the maximum normal stress be less than the allowable stress for the material used. This criteria leads to the determination of the minimum acceptable section modulus.

S min = M max

Among beam section choices which have an acceptable section modulus, the one with the smallest weight per unit length or cross sectional area will be the least expensive and the best choice.
