Describe the beam type and the loading for each beam presented.

Question

BEAM IDENTIFICATION

Accepted Answer

Beam and Loading	Description
beam 1 (Figure 1a)	Simply supported beam with a single concentrated force.
beam 2 (Figure 1b)	Combination beam with two concentrated loads, one at each end. This beam can also be described as a simply supported beam with overhangs.
beam 3 (Figure 1c)	Cantilever beam supporting a uniformly distributed load along its entire length.
beam 4 (Figure 1d)	Force-loaded curved beam. This beam is actually a twoforce member. The straight two-force members that we studied in our analysis of trusses have axial forces as internal loads. A bent or curved two-force member also has internal bending moments and shear loads. Examples of curved beams include clamps, hooks, and bows.
beam 5 (Figure 1e)	Tapered airplane wing with a varying distributed load.
beam 6 (Figure 1f )	Cantilever beam of varying cross section with a concentrated load at the narrow end.
beam 7 (Figure 1g)	Round solid beam that acts as a shaft for the pulley system shown. The loading consists of concentrated loads at the locations of the pulleys.
beam 8 (Figure 1h)	L-shaped beam with a concentrated load, a triangular distributed load, and a uniformly distributed load.
beam 9 (Figure 1i)	Round, hollow, thin-walled cantilever beam with a concentrated load at the end.

Note: All the beams shown are statically determinate, and all the external reactions can be
calculated using the planar equilibrium equations.
