Analysis of Beams (2025)
Strength of Materials, Beams, Shear Force, Bending Moment, Shear Stress, Bending Stress, Slope, Deflection
What you'll learn
Understand the Types of Beams, Supports & Loadings
Calculate and Plot the Axial Force, Shear Force & Bending Moment for various cross-sections along a beam’s length
Calculate the maximum induced Bending Stress in a beam to check whether it is below the material's permissible normal stress limits
Calculate the maximum induced Shear Stress in a beam to check whether it is below the material's permissible shear stress limits
Find the Slope and Deflection equations for any cross section along a beam’s length, and check that the maximum deflection is less than the permissible limits
Requirements
Basic Integral and Differential Calculus
Engineering Statics (Mechanics)
Description
This course on Analysis of Beams, consisting of 50 lecture videos and spanning about 4 hours and 24 minutes in total, is designed for learners with little knowledge of Statics, and is aimed at a beginner to an intermediate level of understanding.Beams cover a vast portion of the basic Strength / Mechanics of Materials course, and is a prerequisite to many advanced subjects of undergraduate studies. The core principles of Beams, and Strength of Materials in general, apply to many disciplines viz., Mech E, Prod or Mfg E, Civil E, Aeronautical E, and Architectural Engineering, to name a few.In this course, you shall first learn how to calculate the internal resisting forces and moments developed within any cross-section along the beam’s length, in response to the applied loads and applied moments; and then plot the corresponding values in the form of diagrams. From this, you shall be able to calculate the maximum bending and shear stresses induced that may be responsible for failure, if the permissible stress limits of the beam material are exceeded. Failure may also happen due to excessive deformations, hence you shall also learn how to calculate the slopes and transverse deformations (called deflections).
The information obtained through the bending and shear stresses, and slopes and deflections, is useful for the design and analysis of structures, ensuring safety and stability.A number of examples shall be solved for various beam types and loadings, starting with the most basic to reasonably complex ones. To make the subject simple to understand, the course does not delve much into the rigorous derivation aspects of underlying formulas, but more attention shall be given for the actual usage of the formulas in solving a given problem instead.A small but sufficient number of practice examples shall be listed at the end of every core topic. While it is advised to take notes during the lectures, yet, apart from the lecture videos, electronic documents of the whiteboard material used shall also be appended for ready reference.
Who this course is for
"Analysis of Beams" is a major part of the "Strength / Mechanics of Materials" course, and is aimed at the undergraduate students of mechanical / civil / production / manufacturing / aeronautical / architectural engineering students. The level of understanding is beginner to intermediate.
