  2. Moment distribution method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_distribution_method

    Step 1: As joint A is released, balancing moment of magnitude equal to the fixed end moment = develops and is carried-over from joint A to joint B.* Step 2: The unbalanced moment at joint B now is the summation of the fixed end moments , and the carry-over moment from joint A. This unbalanced moment is distributed to members BA and BC in ...

  3. Bending moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bending_moment

    Shear and moment diagram for a simply supported beam with a concentrated load at mid-span.. In solid mechanics, a bending moment is the reaction induced in a structural element when an external force or moment is applied to the element, causing the element to bend.

  4. Torsion constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_constant

    In 1820, the French engineer A. Duleau derived analytically that the torsion constant of a beam is identical to the second moment of area normal to the section J zz, which has an exact analytic equation, by assuming that a plane section before twisting remains planar after twisting, and a diameter remains a straight line.

  5. Rotating unbalance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_unbalance

    A static balance (sometimes called a force balance [2] [3]) occurs when the inertial axis of a rotating mass is displaced from and parallel to the axis of rotation.Static unbalances can occur more frequently in disk-shaped rotors because the thin geometric profile of the disk allows for an uneven distribution of mass with an inertial axis that is nearly parallel to the axis of rotation.

  6. Hardy Cross - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardy_Cross

    The method of moment distribution is this: Imagine all joints in the structure held so that they cannot rotate and compute the moments at the ends of the members for this condition; at each joint distribute the unbalanced fixed-end moment among the connecting members in proportion to the constant for each member defined as "stiffness";

  7. Bending - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bending

    The beam is initially straight with a cross section that is constant throughout the beam length. The beam has an axis of symmetry in the plane of bending. The proportions of the beam are such that it would fail by bending rather than by crushing, wrinkling or sideways buckling. Cross-sections of the beam remain plane during bending.

  8. 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.

  9. Flexural rigidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexural_rigidity

    where is the flexural modulus (in Pa), is the second moment of area (in m 4), is the transverse displacement of the beam at x, and () is the bending moment at x. The flexural rigidity (stiffness) of the beam is therefore related to both E {\displaystyle E} , a material property, and I {\displaystyle I} , the physical geometry of the beam.
