This lecture covers the stresses in beams under flexure, including shear forces, bending moments, and design considerations. It explains the relationships among loads, shear forces, and bending moments, as well as the curvature, normal strains, and stresses in beams. The instructor discusses the key geometric properties of cross-sections and the efficiency of structural shapes for beam design.
