Lecture

Singularity Functions: Integration Method

Description

This lecture covers the derivation of relationships between loads, shear forces, and bending moments by analyzing an infinitesimal section of a beam in bending. It introduces singularity functions to combine different loading types into concise formulas, including the Dirac delta function for point loads. The integration of singularity functions is explained to calculate the effects of standard loads on shear and bending moments.
