This study presents an improvement of the graphical method for plotting the shear and moment diagrams for the structural members under linearly varying loads (triangular and trapezoidal loads). Based on the parabolic nature of the shear function, when the loading varies linearly, and on the relations among load, shear, and moment, a mathematical eq...

Regarding computing the parabolic areas, the proposed geometric method is characterized by a systematic process depending on simple equations dealing with a simple geometry. It is necessary to note that the distances b and h of the parabola in Fig.6c are measured according to the vertex (point N), which has a zero-slope tangent. Even if the number of the steps for the two solutions appears equal, actually Solution I took more computation efforts and time since both the sectioning and the equilibrium equations were utilized twice for determining the zero-shear point and the maximum ...

Metaphoric glyphs enhance the readability and learnability of abstract glyphs used for the visualization of quantitative multidimensional data by building upon graphical entities that are intuitively related to the underlying problem domain. Their construction is, however, a predominantly manual process. In this paper, we introduce the Glyph-from-I...
