1. Chapter 6 - BENDING
First, V & M diagrams (statics), then flexure formula for stress!!

2. Chapter 6 – Sections 1 and 2
There are three ways to construct shear and moment diagrams:
By taking cuts and summing forces and moments, i.e.
Note: Get equations for V and M, just plot equations

3. 2. By Inspection:
Do not get actual equations, good if just after Vmax and Mmax

4. 3. By Direct Integration:
Good if w(x) is a complicated function, i.e.
w(x) = 4sin3x w(x) = 5X3 + 3X2 + 2X +9

5. EXAMPLES:
Use the approach that makes most sense. Inspection most common.
