Sign
Convention for Shear Force and Bending Moment
In a Nut Shell: Use shear force and
bending moment to calculate the shear stress and axial The figure below shows the sign convention for
positive values for shear force, V, bending moment, M, and distributed loading,
w(x). Click here to return to
example on shear stress. |
