  2. Euler's critical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_critical_load

    The critical load is the greatest load that will not cause lateral deflection (buckling). For loads greater than the critical load, the column will deflect laterally. The critical load puts the column in a state of unstable equilibrium. A load beyond the critical load causes the column to fail by buckling. As the load is increased beyond the ...

  3. Euler–Bernoulli beam theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler–Bernoulli_beam_theory

    Euler–Bernoulli beam theory (also known as engineer's beam theory or classical beam theory) [1] is a simplification of the linear theory of elasticity which provides a means of calculating the load-carrying and deflection characteristics of beams. It covers the case corresponding to small deflections of a beam that

  4. Structural engineering theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering_theory

    Strength depends upon material properties. The strength of a material depends on its capacity to withstand axial stress, shear stress, bending, and torsion.The strength of a material is measured in force per unit area (newtons per square millimetre or N/mm², or the equivalent megapascals or MPa in the SI system and often pounds per square inch psi in the United States Customary Units system).

  5. Four-point flexural test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-point_flexural_test

    in these formulas the following parameters are used: = Stress in outer fibers at midpoint, = load at a given point on the load deflection curve, = Support span, (mm) = Width of test beam, (mm) = Depth or thickness of tested beam, (mm)

  6. Timoshenko–Ehrenfest beam theory - Wikipedia

    A cantilever Timoshenko beam under a point load at the free end For a cantilever beam , one boundary is clamped while the other is free. Let us use a right handed coordinate system where the x {\displaystyle x} direction is positive towards right and the z {\displaystyle z} direction is positive upward.

  7. 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.

  8. Size effect on structural strength - Wikipedia

    Eq. 2 is the cumulative Weibull distribution with scale parameter and shape parameter ; = [^ ()] = constant factor depending on the structure geometry, = structure volume; = relative (size-independent) coordinate vectors, ^ = dimensionless stress field (dependent on geometry), scaled so that the maximum stress be 1; = number of spatial ...

  9. 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
