# General Problem Approach Beam shearing questions consist of [[Static Systems|static]] systems in which a beam is subjected to shearing [[Force|forces]]. The general approach to these types of problems is as follows: 1. Solve for system reaction forces 2. Apply a force analysis on sections of the beam 3. Plot shear force diagram and bending [[Moment|moment]] diagram 4. Calculate maximum [[Normal Stress|normal stress]] from bending 5. Calculate maximum [[Shear Stress|shear stress]] from shear force ![[beam_shear.png|center|400]] # Beam Shear, Moment, and Deformation ![[Beam Shear, Moment, and Deformation]] # Beam Selection ![[Beam Selection]] # Shear in Beams ![[Shear in Beams]]
