Every other video or textbook just goes on explaining how to calculate BM or SF but none of them explain what exactly is happening inside the beam I am a masters student and I found this video helpful. Cheers!!!
This really helped me, click to get that 'ah ha' moment thank you Professor Van Biezen. About a yr ago i said the same thing on another one of your videos and you replied, so you're helping me over a prolonged time now.
@@MichelvanBiezen I can't thank you enough for putting this content out, I wish I was more fiscal to say thanks that way. But your help is often the difference between giving up with this study (which often feels overwhelming) and carrying on. I've tested myself as a visual, kinetic learner and I'm studying at home with 100's of pages of dry text book reading to do, and I say I'll do 10 pages a day, but then hit a brick wall of not getting something or I'll spend an hour on one page alone. So although you put this out 7 yrs ago, take comfort in the fact, you're still helping people today and you'll be helping people probably long after you leave this mortal coil. That's pretty cool. Edit I'm getting to the point where I'm trying to watch, take notes from your video series before I do the text book reading, just so I can visualise it better. So again thank you so much.
i cannot praise this video enough....your teaching is so good that even though I sit through my civil engineering lectures totally confused, I am relaxed, because i know Michael Van Biezen's videos will save me...all other lecturers should just quit
@@MichelvanBiezen Will it be corect to say that, those reaction forces are caused by the load placed on the beam and without the load they wouldn't exist? Just trying to grasp the concept really!
I dont get why the arrows are pointing away from eachother on the top...during a sag, arent the forces pushing into eachother on the top and away from eachother (like streching) on the bottom?
Sir, can you explain how do we prove that the bending moment for beam similar as above (but without the Force in the middle, just 2 forces at the end from the supports) is constant? Really appreciate it!
I had never seen any teacher of solid mechanics who can so clear and so easy explain semester course in 5 minutes. Thank you so much!!!
This is by far the clearest way I've seen this topic taught- thanks very much
Sir, I should be paying my tuition fees to you instead of my university.
Your class is more valuable than a lot of university courses!
Thank you. We appreciate the comment.

that's why I didn't enroll for masters. They just want to take the money.

Great! Yes this concept is a mind bender as it appears to contradict what we have learned about forces and the moment.

Excellent. You have found a way to be succesful. Keep that up. Glad we are able to be part of your journey. 🙂
You are 90% of the reason I'm not failing Electricity and Magnetism and Statics. Thank you, sir.
best simple explanation by far on youtube!
Thank you. Glad you found our videos. 🙂

I would tankfully say that, your channel on RUclips is priceless
Your description makes sense.I’ve started to understand shear forces and moments reactions,thanks
Great! It is a tricky concept and at first counter-intuitive.
Great explanation sir...i was struggling with this concept for past 1 month...thank you so much
Glad we could help. :)
i have reviwed many many videos in this topic and thid is the best one who clearly ecplain this point.
I never comment on youtube videos but I just wanna say you are a really good teach
Thank you
Very nice explanation!
Thanks a lot sir.
Love you from Bangladesh🇧🇩🇧🇩
Thanks and welcome to the channel!
thanksssss now I understood it . you saved my life
Great explanation sir rather then going to college it's better to watch your videos
I wish I would have watched your videos before the quizzes..thank you for great explanation.
maybe before the next quiz?
best method of teaching
Wonderful video I can always rely on you to clarify things
How on earth someone can easily explain bending moment so simple like this!!!
Thank you. Glad you liked the video! 🙂
Very clear explanation. Great stuff!
i think i just got a big concept - the bending moment arrows are reaction forces not the forces placed on the beam from the load
That is correct.
@@MichelvanBiezen Will it be corect to say that, those reaction forces are caused by the load placed on the beam and without the load they wouldn't exist? Just trying to grasp the concept really!
thanks,
your explanation is very simple and easy to understand
Sir I am an Indian, sir you explain bending moment in this video very essay way . Thanks 🙏 sir
Thank you. Welcome to the channel! 🙂
Sir,
On a simply supported beam BM is max at centre and zero at support so does that mean we have maxm strain at centre section and zero at support?
Sir please keep bestowing students with your knowledge
Very clear explanation. Thank you so much
I dont get why the arrows are pointing away from eachother on the top...during a sag, arent the forces pushing into eachother on the top and away from eachother (like streching) on the bottom?
These are the reaction forces. They oppose the bending of the beam.
it's clear to understand
Thank you for the best explanation Sir.
You are most welcome. Glad you found our videos. 🙂
Sir, can you explain how do we prove that the bending moment for beam similar as above (but without the Force in the middle, just 2 forces at the end from the supports) is constant? Really appreciate it!
god bless this professor🙏
Thank you kindly
I spent one semester just to figuring out what exactly was my lecture talking about those arrows.
Where i can find the cantilever related problem in your video.
We don't have anything specific an the cantilever. :(
Very clear explanation sir. thank you so much
You are welcome
Superb explanation.
crystal clear explanation
Sir...How can we determine the direction of shear force???why cannot we take it in opposite direction as you mentioned??
That was awesome method. 🙏🏻
Glad you liked it! Thank you.
Thank you sir, It was really helpful.
Thank you sir! Please take more videos
As long as we are able, we'll continue to make more videos.
Wonderful explanation
Glad you think so! This can be a very tricky concept as it appears counter-intuitive when one first sees this.
great explanation!
Thank you very much. Your video are best video. Great !
So positive moments are moments that OPPOSE, react against the bending/deformation of the beam?
This video is specifically covering BENDING moments of the beam and that is how they are defined.
Nice explanation sir
YOU SIR. ARE AMAZING>
why moment 2 is positive it is clockwise should be negative ?
As explained in the video the moments are considered positive by convention as they are caused by the internal forces of the beam.
Very clear, thanks!
You are welcome. 🙂
this dude is a ledgend
Glad you found our videos! 🙂
You r great sir .sir I salute you
If this internal moments action oppose to bending of the beam, how beam bend?? Plz explain sir...
Opposing the bending does not mean that the beam doesn't mean the beam doesn't bend at all , but that it will bend less.
thanks a lot sir
Excellent sir
Sir, thank you.
You are welcome.
Thank you 🌹
Why is there a miniature violin in the corner of the board?
Just to keep things interesting.
Beautiful
thanks
Great......
THANK YOU
thank you so mutch !!!
You're welcome!
Thanks ,Sir
Thank u very much sir
what a man
I finally get it now and it took 5 minutes
Great! Yes, this is a tricky concept (and counterintuitive)
Excellent explanation
Thank you. Glad you found our videos.
