In structural analysis, understanding how different types of loads affect a beam is crucial for safe and efficient design. This interactive tool focuses on shear force and bending moment diagrams for a cantilevered beam subjected to a combination of a uniformly distributed load (UDL) and point loads.
By adjusting parameters such as beam length, UDL intensity and position, and the location and magnitude of point loads, users can instantly visualize:
- The applied loading diagram
- The resulting shear force diagram (SFD)
- The corresponding bending moment diagram (BMD)
This visualization helps identify key values like the fixed-end reaction, maximum shear, and maximum bending moment. Ideal for students, educators, and practicing engineers, this tool provides both insight and precision in analyzing how complex loading conditions influence cantilever beam behavior.
