Beam Coordinates System
Course subject(s)
4. Bending Moment in Beams
Inconsistencies in coordinate systems and sign conventions can easily lead to errors in calculations. In this video, the importance of a consistent coordinate system will be discussed. Below, the beam coordinate system, internal force sign convention, and deformation sign convention that will be used in this course are shown.
