If the force can be concentrated to a single point ( small scale sensing, ropes, tensile loads, point loads ), a single cell can be used.

By calculus it can be shown that a point load will lead to a linearly varying moment diagram, and a constant distributed load will lead to a quadratic moment diagram.

I am ultimately working towards'inverting'this to find the optimum shape for an arch bridge which supports its self-weight plus a point load in the centre.

In order to find the effect of a distributed load, the designer can integrate an influence line, found using a point load, over the affected distance of the structure.
15.
As integration of the delta function results in the Heaviside step function, it follows that the static deflection of a slender beam subject to multiple point loads is described by a set of piecewise polynomials.
16.
When analysing an entire element, it is sensible to calculate moments at both ends of the element, at the beginning, centre and end of any uniformly distributed loads, and directly underneath any point loads.
17.
The point loads can have different magnitudes themselves, but even if they apply the same force to the structure, it will be necessary to scale them separately because they act at different distances along the structure.

What does the bending moment diagram on a bamboo cantilever with a point load on the end look like, given the fact that bamboo bends a lot ? Preceding talk ) 12 : 22, 7 December 2014 ( UTC)

A simply supported beam of span 6m carries a central point load of 40kn . determine the collapse load as well as the plastic moment caused by the collapse load Preceding talk ) 00 : 16, 10 April 2010 ( UTC)

If the ship's structure, equipment, and cargo are distributed unevenly there may be large point loads into the structure, and if they are distributed differently from the distribution of buoyancy from displaced water then there are bending forces on the hull.
