SHEAR & MOMENT IN BEAM

HELICAL SPRINGS
When close-coiled helical spring, composed of a wire of round rod of diameter d wound into
a helix of mean radius R with n number of turns, is subjected to an axial load P produces the
following stresses and elongation:

The maximum shearing stress is the sum of the direct shearing stress τ1 = P/A and the
torsional shearing stress τ2 = Tr/J, with T = PR.

This formula neglects the curvature of the spring. This is used for light spring where the
ratio d/4R is small.
For heavy springs and considering the curvature of the spring, a more precise formula is
given by: (A.M.Wahl Formula)

where m is called the spring index and (4m – 1) / (4m – 4) is the Wahl Factor.
The elongation of the bar is

Notice that the deformation δ is directly proportional to the applied load P. The ratio of P to
δ is called the spring constant k and is equal to
SPRINGS IN SERIES
For two or more springs with spring laid in series, the resulting spring constant k is given by

where k1, k2,… are the spring constants for different springs.

SOLVED PROBLEMS IN HELICAL SPRINGS


SHEAR AND MOMENT IN BEAM
A beam is a bar subject to forces or couples that lie in a plane containing the longitudinal of the bar.
According to determinacy, a beam may be determinate or indeterminate.

STATISTICALLY DETERMINATE BEAMS


Statically determinate beams are those beams in which the reactions of the supports may be
determined by the use of the equations of static equilibrium. The beams shown below are examples
of statically determinate beams.

STATISTICALLY INDETERMINATE BEAMS


S
If the number of reactions exerted upon a beam exceeds the number of equations in static
equilibrium, the beam is said to be statically indeterminate. In order to solve the reactions of the
beam, the static equations must be supplemented by equations based upon the elastic deformations
of the beam.
The degree of indeterminacy is taken as the difference between the Numbers of reactions to the
number of equations in static equilibrium that can be applied. In the case of the propped beam
shown, there are three reactions R1, R2, and M and only two equations (∑M = 0 and sum;Fv = 0)
can be applied, thus the beam is indeterminate to the first degree (3 – 2 = 1).
TYPES OF LOADING S
Loads applied to the beam may consist of a concentrated load (load applied at a point), uniform
load, uniformly varying load, or an applied couple or moment. These loads are shown in the
following figures.

SHEAR AND MOMENT DIAGRAMS S


Consider a simple beam shown of length L that carries a uniform
load of w (N/m) throughout its length and is held in equilibrium
by reactions R1 and R2. Assume that the beam is cut at point
distance of x from he left support and the portion of the beam to
the right of C be removed. The portion removed must then be
replaced by vertical shearing force V together with a couple M to
hold the left portion of the bar in equilibrium under the action of
R1 and wx. The couple M is called the resisting moment or
moment and the force V is called the resisting shear or shear. The
sign of V and M are taken to be positive if they have the senses
indicated above.
