Read full description

The application offers a friendly and simple interactive environment for exploring the distribution of shear forces and bending moments on a beam beam with different externals loadings as well as support types (all combinations of clamped, free & pinned edge). It allows to introduce point loads, distributed loads and moments with magnitudes that can be edited by the user and produces instantly Shear Force (SF) and Bending Moments (BM) diagrams while allowing a user friendly interaction for reading shear and bending values values at any point along the beam. Finally it calculates and displays the beam flexed shape as well as the maximum flexing points.
