Internal Forces
Chapter Objectives
Method of sections for determining the internal
loadings in a member
Develop procedure by formulating equations that
describe the internal shear and moment throughout a
member
Chapter Outline
1. Internal load Developed in Structural Members
2. Shear and Moment Equations and Diagrams
Example 7.3
Determine the internal force, shear force and the bending
moment acting at point B of the two-member frame.
Solution
Support Reactions
FBD of each member
Member AC
MA = 0;
-400kN(4m) + (3/5)FDC(8m)= 0
FDC = 333.3kN
+ Fx = 0;
-Ax + (4/5)(333.3kN) = 0
Ax = 266.7kN
+ Fy = 0;
Ay 400kN + 3/5(333.3kN) = 0
Ay = 200kN

Solution
Support Reactions
Member AB
+ Fx = 0; NB 266.7kN = 0
NB = 266.7kN
+ Fy = 0; 200kN 200kN - VB = 0
VB = 0
MB = 0;
MB 200kN(4m) + 200kN(2m) = 0
MB = 400kN.m
Example 7.7
Draw the shear and bending moments diagrams for the
shaft. The support at A is a thrust bearing and the support
at C is a journal bearing.
Solution
Support Reactions
FBD of the shaft
Fy 0;V 2.5kN
M 0; M 2.5 xkN.m
Fy 0;
V 2.5kN
M 0;
2.5kN 5kN V 0
M 5kN ( x 2m) 2.5kN ( x) 0
Solution
Shear diagram
Internal shear force is always positive within the shaft AB.
Just to the right of B, the shear force
changes sign and remains at
constant value for segment BC.
Moment diagram
Starts at zero, increases linearly to
B and therefore decreases to zero.
