Bending Moment and Shear Force Diagram
Theory at a Glance (for IES, GATE, PSU)
4.1 Shear Force and Bending Moment
At first we try to understand what shear force is and what is mending moment? We will not introduce any other co-ordinate system. We use general co-ordinate axis as shown in the figure. This system will be followed in shear force and bending moment diagram and in deflection of beam. Here downward direction will be negative i.e. negative Y-axis. Therefore downward deflection of the beam will be treated as negative. Some books fix a co-ordinate axis as shown in the following figure. Here downward direction will be positive i.e. positive Yaxis. Therefore downward deflection of the beam will be treated as positive. As beam is generally deflected in downward directions and this co-ordinate system treats downward deflection is positive deflection. Consider a cantilever beam as shown subjected to external load P. If we imagine this beam to be cut by a section X-X, we see that the applied force tend to displace the left-hand portion of the beam relative to the right hand portion, which is fixed in the wall. This tendency is resisted by internal forces between the two parts of the beam. At the cut section a resistance shear force (Vx) and a bending moment (Mx) is induced. This resistance shear force and the bending moment at the cut section is shown in the left hand and right hand portion of the cut beam. Using the three equations of equilibrium Some books use above co-ordinate system

We find that Vx = P and M x = P . x In this chapter we want to show pictorially the variation of shear force and bending moment in a beam as a function of x' measured from one end of the beam.
The benefits of drawing a variation of shear force and bending moment in a beam as a function of x' measured from one end of the beam is that it becomes easier to determine the maximum absolute value of shear force and bending moment. The shear force and bending moment diagram gives a clear picture in our mind about the variation of SF and BM throughout the entire section of the beam. Further, the determination of value of bending moment as a function of x' becomes very important so as to determine d 2y the value of deflection of beam subjected to a given loading where we will use the formula, EI 2 = M x . dx

conventions to be followed for the shear force. In some book followed totally opposite sign convention.
The upward direction shearing force which is on the left hand of the section XX is positive shear force. Negative Shear Force
The downward direction shearing force which is on the right hand of the section XX is positive shear force.
A shearing force having an upward direction to the right hand side of a section or downwards to the left hand of the section will be taken as negative.
The downward direction shearing force which is on the left hand of the section XX is negative shear force.
The upward direction shearing force which is on the right hand of the section XX is negative shear force.

A bending moment causing concavity upwards will be taken as positive and called as sagging bending moment.
Sagging If the bending moment of the left hand of the section XX is clockwise then it is a positive bending moment. If the bending moment of the right hand of the section XX is anticlockwise then it is a positive bending moment. A bending moment causing concavity upwards will be taken as positive and called as sagging bending moment.
Hogging If the bending moment of the left hand of the section XX is anticlockwise then it is a positive bending moment. If the bending moment of the right hand of the section XX is clockwise then it is a positive bending moment. A bending moment causing convexity upwards will be taken as negative and called as hogging bending moment.
Remember in the Cantilever beam both Shear force and BM are negative (ive).
4.3 Relation between S.F (Vx), B.M. (Mx) & Load (w)

dVx = -w (load) The value of the distributed load at any point in the beam is dx
equal to the slope of the shear force curve. (Note that the sign of this rule may change depending on the sign convention used for the external distributed load).
dM x = Vx dx
The value of the shear force at any point in the beam is equal to the
4.4 Procedure for drawing shear force and bending moment diagram
Construction of shear force diagram
From the loading diagram of the beam constructed shear force diagram. First determine the reactions. Then the vertical components of forces and reactions are successively summed from the left end of the beam to preserve the mathematical sign conventions adopted. The shear at a section is simply equal to the sum of all the vertical forces to the left of the section.
The shear force curve is continuous unless there is a point force on the beam. The curve then jumps by the magnitude of the point force (+ for upward force). When the successive summation process is used, the shear force diagram should end up with the previously calculated shear (reaction at right end of the beam). No shear force acts through the beam just beyond the last vertical force or reaction. If the shear force diagram closes in this fashion, then it gives an important check on mathematical calculations. i.e. The shear force will be zero at each end of the beam unless a point force is applied at the end.
The bending moment diagram is obtained by proceeding continuously along the length of beam from the left hand end and summing up the areas of shear force diagrams using proper sign convention.
The process of obtaining the moment diagram from the shear force diagram by summation is exactly the same as that for drawing shear force diagram from load diagram.
Chapter-4
Page- 6
The bending moment curve is continuous unless there is a point moment on the beam. The curve then jumps by the magnitude of the point moment (+ for CW moment). We know that a constant shear force produces a uniform change in the bending moment, resulting in straight line in the moment diagram. If no shear force exists along a certain portion of a beam, then it indicates that there is no change in moment takes place. We also know that dM/dx= Vx therefore, from the fundamental theorem of calculus the maximum or minimum moment occurs where the shear is zero.
The bending moment will be zero at each free or pinned end of the beam. If the end is built in, the moment computed by the summation must be equal to the one calculated initially for the reaction.
4.5 Different types of Loading and their S.F & B.M Diagram
(i) A Cantilever beam with a concentrated load P at its free end. Shear force: At a section a distance x from free end consider the forces to the left, then (Vx) = - P (for all values of x) negative in sign i.e. the shear force to the left of the x-section are in downward direction and therefore negative. Bending Moment: Taking moments about the section gives (obviously to the left of the section) Mx = -P.x (negative sign means that the moment on the left hand side of the portion is in the anticlockwise direction and is therefore taken as negative according to the sign convention) so that the maximum bending moment occurs at the fixed end i.e. Mmax = - PL ( at x = L) S.F and B.M diagram
(ii) A Cantilever beam with uniformly distributed load over the whole length
Chapter-4

When a cantilever beam is subjected to a uniformly distributed load whose intensity is given w /unit length. Shear force: Consider any cross-section XX which is at a distance of x from the free end. If we just take the resultant of all the forces on the left of the X-section, then Vx = -w.x for all values of x'. At x = 0, Vx = 0 At x = L, Vx = -wL (i.e. Maximum at fixed end) Plotting the equation Vx = -w.x, we get a straight line because it is a equation of a straight line y (Vx) = m(- w) .x Bending Moment: Bending Moment at XX is obtained by treating the load to the left of XX as a concentrated load of the same value (w.x) acting through the centre of gravity at x/2. Therefore, the bending moment at any cross-section XX is S.F and B.M diagram
M x = ( w .x ) .
x w .x 2 = 2 2
Therefore the variation of bending moment is according to parabolic law. The extreme values of B.M would be at x = 0, Mx = 0

Take a section at a distance x from the left support. This section is applicable for any value of x just to the left of the applied force P. The shear, remains constant and is +P. The bending moment varies linearly from the support, reaching a maximum of +Pa.

A section applicable anywhere between the two applied forces. Shear force is not necessary to maintain equilibrium of a segment in this part of the beam. Only a constant bending moment of +Pa must be resisted by the beam in this zone. Such a state of bending or flexure is called pure
bending.
