Is the maximum bending moment of a fixed end beam always at end?

Mathematically, we can see that with downward loads only (only upward loads at the ends), the maximum bending moment for a fixed end beam of span $L$ either occurs at $x=0$, $x=L$, or where the shear ...

Finding transformation of forces and moments

I have two sets of forces and moments, measured by two 6 DOF force/torque sensors at position A and B on a robot arm (B at end effector). My goal is to use this measurements to relate the forces/...

Is radius of gyration same for both types of moment of inertia?

We know that moment of inertia is commonly known as second moment of area. Which is $\int_{}{} y^2 dA$. However there another moment of inertia called as mass moment of inertia given by $\int_{}{} r^...

Determine the moment of inertia of a filled circular sector

Does anyone know how to determine the moment of inertia of the filled circular sector shown below? Apparently I have to use $dA=r\ d\theta\ dr$, $y= r\sin(\theta)$ and end up getting $I_x=\frac{r^4}{...
