ENG2000 Chapter 7Beams Overview In this chapter, we consider the stresses and moments present in loaded beams shear stress and bending moment diagrams We will also look at what happens when a beam is deformed in terms of the axial stress in the deformed beam and the flexural rigidity of a beam The chapter will finish by considering the failure of a column due to an axial compressive force buckling Beams with concentrated loads A beam is defined as a slender structural member For trusses we assumed that what happened in the members was unimportant to the system although the nature of the memb
