The package documentation includes a simplified (but still rigorous enough) explanation of the background theory, inspired in [@Beer2017] and [@Bell2015]. It is assumed that the students understand ...

This video is an introduction to shear force and bending moment diagrams. What are Shear Forces and Bending Moments? Shear forces and bending moments are resultants which are used to conveniently ...

The calculation of shear forces and bending moments in loaded beams is a common requirement in civil and structural engineering. One common approach to this calculation involves four steps: step 1 is ...

To use this program, you need to call the solve function on the instance of the SFBMProb object that has the complete problem description. You first create the SFBMProb Object and then add the loads ...

The reactions at the encastré support of this cantilever beam can be determined by equilibrium calculations only, so the beam is statically determinate. The support provides a vertical reaction and a ...
