Beam diagrams are used as a fundamental way to teach engineers the basic of static loading. Beams are structural elements that are able to withstand load by its resistance to bending. The bending force can be a result of external loads, weight, or the length of the beam. The beams experience a bending moment and a shear moment due to these loads...
