Term: Support Reactions
Definition: Forces that support a structure and counteract applied loads, calculated using equilibrium equations.
Term: Shear Force
Definition: A force that acts parallel to the section of a beam, causing it to shear.
Term: Bending Moment
Definition: A measure of the bending effect due to forces acting on a beam, calculated from the moments of external forces.
