Fig. 17. A typical shearing-force curve is given in fig. 17. The area enclosed under a shearing-force curve on one side of any chosensection is a measure of the bending moment at the corresponding sectionin the ship. Consequently, in order to obtain a curve of bending moments … Fig. 18. it is necessary to measure the areas under the shearing-force curve up to aseries of chosen stations. These areas are then plotted on a base repre-senting length, and the resulting curve of bending moments is generally ofthe form indicated in fig. 18.
