The integration of the influence line gives the effect that would be felt if the distributed load had a unit magnitude.

Therefore, after integrating, the designer must still scale the results to get the actual effect of the distributed load.

The example below includes a point load, a distributed load, and an applied moment.

The relationship between distributed load and shear force magnitude is:

Internal pressure, introduced as a uniformly distributed load, can appear to inflate the square.

A single person balances the yoke over one shoulder, with an evenly distributed load being suspended from each end.

The relationship between the force, radius, and pressure can derived from simple distributed load equation:

Using the distributed load equation provided the can be replaced with area of the piston surface where the pressure is acting on.

The two cases with distributed loads can be derived from the case with concentrated load by integration.

The first of these is the relationship between a distributed load on the loading diagram and the shear diagram.

These early extractors were often dangerous to use, since unevenly distributed loads would cause the machine to shake violently.

The boundary conditions usually model supports, but they can also model point loads, distributed loads and moments.

It is important to note that most shelving is rated per shelf level for evenly distributed loads.

When looking at what you are putting on the pallet, capacities are based on evenly distributed loads.

Applied loads may be represented either through boundary conditions or through the function which represents an external distributed load.

Suppose, rather than a point load , a distributed load is applied to the surface instead, over the range .

The solution is similar the above (for both singular loads and distributed loads ) but altered slightly:

It is the form assumed by a hanging chain under a uniformly distributed load, UDL.

This pattern of irregular loading subjects the vessel to quite different stress from that exerted by an evenly distributed load of coal.

The simplest loading case is a single point load, but influence lines can also be used to determine responses due to multiple loads and distributed loads.

Many loads do not act as point loads, but instead act over an extended length or area as distributed loads.

By nature, the distributed load is very often represented in a piecewise manner, since in practice a load isn't typically a continuous function.

A uniformly distributed load can be supported by a hanging, catenary chain one thirtieth the cross section of a simply supported beam.

The special feature among tetrodes and pentodes is the possibility to obtain ultra-linear or distributed load operation with an appropriate output transformer.

A parabolic dome is a unique structure, in which bending stress due to the Uniformly distributed load of its dead load is zero.
