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 ...

Max bending moment estimate
Context: I study aerodynamics and want to design and build an RC wing to put the theory I learned into practice. The essence of the theory I learned is: Given some mass of wing building material, how ...

How to derive fixed end moment of a beam fixed at both ends with a point force not in the center
So this is as far as I have gotten. The formulas written in green are the formulas that I have to find/ derive but I am hitting a wall. I know I am supposed to integrate but I am not sure where to go ...

Problem while solving for the moment of a cantilever beam
As in the first image,
Moment at any point between C and B should be 0.
But when I try to solve it by substituting equal and opposite forces at end C so that anti-clockwise moment of $F(l-a)$ and ...

The internal normal force, shear force and moment
How do I determine the internal normal force, shear force and moment at the point C?
$V_c = 0$, $N_c = 0$ and $M_c=3.75 kN/m$
I have already done this:
Where is the problem?

Transfering moment through internal hinge
My professor says, the internal hinge can not transfer moment:
But can we calculate $\Sigma M_A=0$ for whole beam ( without cutting it or something) this way?:
$\Sigma M_A=0 ===\Rightarrow M_A+(D_y ...

is bending moment on roller supports at beams zero?
isn't the bending moment supposed to be zero on roller supports at beams?
then why isn't it zero here in this picture at x=2?

Moment and Torque at a Single Point
As far as I know, moments/torques occur when forces applied are not in line. However, I often see moments/torques being applied at a single point in free body diagrams.
How can moment/torque be ...

What are the principles (if there are any) behind the conservation of bending moment in frame analysis?
I notice from this question that the moments at joint connection are somehow "conserved", or being "transferred" from one element to the others. In other words, there are no "missing moment".
Note ...

Flexural modulus for a beam fixed at one end
For a beam supported at both ends with a mass in the middle, the flexural modulus is given by:
$$E_b = \frac{F L^3}{48I d}$$
with I as the area moment
$$I = \frac{1}{12}wh^3$$
How does the ...
