What is shear force and bending moment

What is shear force?
          It is defined as the algebraic sum of forces acting either on left hand side or right hand side of the section.

Conventional sign for shear force 
                                 
What  is bending moment?
           It is defined as the algebraic sum of moments  of forces acting on the left hand side or right hand side of the section.

Conventional sign for bending moment 
                                        
Important points to be noted while drawing shear force and bending moment diagram.

       (i) length of shear force and bending                    moment span must be equal.
      (ii) shear force diagram is drawn
            below the loaded beam and bending              moment diagram is drawn below                    shear force diagram.
     (iii) for simply supported beam, bending              moment is zero at the supports.
     (iv) for cantilever beam bending                            moment will be zero at free end.
      (v) calculate shear force and bending                  moment at all critical points.
     (vi) if no load is present between two                    points then shear force will be                          constant.
