From this, the shear and bending moment diagrams can be constructed.

    SHEAR FORCE AND BENDING MOMENT DISTRIBUTION OVER

    AIRCRAFT WING
    All aircraft are subjected to dynamic loads, when they fly.To convert a dynamic
    system to an equivalent static system one must apply D’Alembert’s principle of
    inertial forces. This is just a fancy way of manipulating Newtons law
    from ∑F=ma  to  ∑F- ma = 0. Once one converts a dynamical system into
    an equivalent static system, statics principles of structural analysis apply. In the
    example below, we will show how we can derive shear and bending moment
    diagrams of a dynamically loaded airplane.
    We will use the following data to determine the shear and bending moment
    distribution along a wing of the aircraft:

     The wing weighs 800 lbf and is uniformly distributed


     The wing is 20 feet in length
     The aircraft experiences a 9G upward load

    knowing the data described above, one should be able to acquire the shear and
    bending moment distributions along the wing of the spitfire aircraft.

    STEP 1: Make a cut and draw a Free body diagram with all of the external
    forces acting on the body.

    A free body diagram of the wing is illustrated above with the 800 lbf load
    uniformly distributed along the wing.

    STEP 2: Determine the location of the center of gravity of the mass


    In this case the location of the center of gravity of the wing is trivial because the
    weight of the wing is assumed to be uniformly distributed. Because of
    symmetry, the center of gravity is located in the middle of the wing at 10 feet
    from either end.
    STEP 3: Make a cut and draw two free body diagrams (1) the force
    diagram and (2) an effective force diagram:

    The system above is equivalent to ∑F=ma.


    STEP 4: Convert the system to an equivalent static system using
    D’Alembert’s principle:

    By moving the effective force diagram to the left side of the equal sign, one has
    converted the dynamical system into an equivalent static system. One can
    remove the negative sign by flipping the acceleration vector. Remember,
    acceleration is a vector quantity and the negative of a vector gets flipped the
    other direction. This makes sense because if an object accelerates upward, the
    force felt on the body is the opposite direction.
    STEP 5: Combine the weight and inertia forces
    To be able to draw a shear and bending moment diagram of the system above,
    the inertia force needs to be converted to an equivalent system of forces and
    then combined with the force diagram. To do this, one has to realize that every
    part of a mass is acted on by the inertial force AND it effects the forces parallel
    to its direction. The figure below illustrates what I mean.
    Every force in the force diagram parallel to the inertial force, i.e. forces in the
    vertical direction, needs to be multiplied by the acceleration inertial load factor.
    Essentially what you are doing is multiplying the mass distribution of the body
    by the inertial acceleration to get an equivalent system of forces. The mass of
    the wing happens to be uniformly distributed across its length, but it can be
    point masses as well or trianglular distributed masses. The point is, the inertial
    load is a multiplying factor for loads parallel to its direction. Once one converts
    the inertial load to an equivalent system of forces, the diagrams can be
    combined using the principle of superposition. The resulting diagram is
    illustrated below:

    One can now perform a static analysis of the system!!


    STEP 6: Determine the reaction forces using the equations of equilibrium
    The reaction forces are determined below:

    STEP 5: Draw shear and bending moment diagram


    Using the static equivalent of the dynamic system, the shear and bending
    moment diagram can be constructed as illustrated below. Crack open a
    mechanics of materials reference and constructing a shear and bending moment
    diagram for this case should be a breeze.
