Beam Analysis Diagram: Bending Moment, Shear Force, Slope & Deflection #3494629 (License: Personal Use)

The image displays four superimposed diagrams for a simply supported beam subjected to a central downward point load (green arrow). From top to bottom: the bending moment diagram (M, red) shows a triangular distribution with maximum at midspan; the shear force diagram (V, orange) is rectangular with sign change at the load; the slope diagram (θ, cyan) reflects the integral of M/EI and shows smooth curvature; and the deflection diagram (v, beige) depicts the elastic curve, concave upward with maximum sag at center. Positive regions are marked with “+”, negative with “-”.

Used in structural engineering education and design documentation to teach or verify beam response under static loading. Matches user intent for learning mechanics of materials, preparing for exams (e.g., FE, PE), or checking hand calculations against expected diagram shapes.
