Mastering Shear Force and Bending Moment Diagrams

"Each lecture is developed and delivered with the benefit of my experience as a university lecturer in structural engineering. The teaching style appeals to all types of learners with material developed through hand-drawn notes and sketches. Students are encouraged to engage with each lecture by actively developing their own notes during each video lecture…no ‘death by PowerPoint’ here! We'll focus on pinning down the basics before diving into worked examples. If you follow all lectures and attempt all of the worked examples, by the end of the course you will have an excellent grasp of this essential civil engineering skill! Section 1: Reviewing the basicsSection 2: Understanding internal bending momentsSection 3: Understanding internal shear forcesSection 4: Differential relationships between loading, shear force and bending momentSection 5 & 6: Bringing it all together - Worked ExamplesWe will start on familiar ground in section 5 by considering beam structures. In section 6 we'll map what you have learned onto frame structures - greatly expanding the applicability of the tools and techniques you have developed in this course!At this point you can confidently analyse any statically determinate structure you're likely to come across in your civil engineering studies or career. Next step...statically indeterminate structures!"
