  2. Span (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Span_(engineering)

    In engineering, span is the distance between two adjacent structural supports (e.g., two piers) of a structural member (e.g., a beam). Span is measured in the horizontal direction either between the faces of the supports (clear span) or between the centers of the bearing surfaces (effective span): [1] A span can be closed by a solid beam or by ...

  3. Beam (nautical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_(nautical)

    Graphical representation of the dimensions used to describe a ship. Dimension "b" is the beam at waterline.. The beam of a ship is its width at its widest point. The maximum beam (B MAX) is the distance between planes passing through the outer sides of the ship, beam of the hull (B H) only includes permanently fixed parts of the hull, and beam at waterline (B WL) is the maximum width where the ...

  4. Deflection (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflection_(engineering)

    The deflection at any point, , along the span of a center loaded simply supported beam can be calculated using: [1] = for The special case of elastic deflection at the midpoint C of a beam, loaded at its center, supported by two simple supports is then given by: [ 1 ] δ C = F L 3 48 E I {\displaystyle \delta _{C}={\frac {FL^{3}}{48EI}}} where

  5. Shear and moment diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_and_moment_diagram

    Shear and Bending moment diagram for a simply supported beam with a concentrated load at mid-span. Shear force and bending moment diagrams are analytical tools used in conjunction with structural analysis to help perform structural design by determining the value of shear forces and bending moments at a given point of a structural element such as a beam.

  6. Macaulay's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaulay's_method

    Simply supported beam with a single eccentric concentrated load. An illustration of the Macaulay method considers a simply supported beam with a single eccentric concentrated load as shown in the adjacent figure. The first step is to find . The reactions at the supports A and C are determined from the balance of forces and moments as

  7. Flexural strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexural_strength

    L is the length of the support (outer) span; b is width; d is thickness; For the 4 pt bend setup, if the loading span is 1/2 of the support span (i.e. L i = 1/2 L in Fig. 4): = If the loading span is neither 1/3 nor 1/2 the support span for the 4 pt bend setup (Fig. 4): Fig. 4 - Beam under 4 point bending

  8. Influence line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influence_line

    Figure 1: (a) This simple supported beam is shown with a unit load placed a distance x from the left end. Its influence lines for four different functions: (b) the reaction at the left support (denoted A), (c) the reaction at the right support (denoted C), (d) one for shear at a point B along the beam, and (e) one for moment also at point B. Figure 2: The change in Bending Moment in a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements

    Grain Cube (or Grain Capacity) – The maximum space available for cargo measured in cubic metres or feet, the measurement being taken to the inside of the shell plating of the ship or to the outside of the frames and to the top of the beam or underside of the deck plating. It is a measurement of capacity for cargoes such as grain, where the ...
