DoITPoMS - TLP Library Bending and Torsion of Beams

Bending and Torsion of Beams

This teaching and learning package provides an introduction to the mechanics of beam bending and torsion, looking particularly at the bending of cantilever and free-standing beams and the torsion of cylindrical bars.

	Aims Before you start Introduction Pole-vaulting Bending moments and beam curvatures Maximising the beam stiffness Beam deflections from applied bending moments Twisting moments (torques) and torsional stiffness Springs Plastic deformation during beam bending Summary Questions Going further
