Course Overview
Many structures can be approximated as a straight beam or as a collection of straight beams. For this reason, the analysis of stresses and deflections in a beam is an important and useful topic.
This course discusses:
- Constraints and boundary conditions
- Shear force and bending moment
- Shear and moment diagrams
- Calculation of stresses in beams
- Common beam deflection formulas
