Bending Stress and Shearing Stress in
Timber Beam

Where
fb = actual bending or flexural stress
fv = actual horizontal shear stress
M = maximum moment
V = maximum shear
c = distance from the neutral axis to the extreme
fiber in bending
I = moment of inertial about the neutral axis
S = section modulus
Q = moment of area about the neutral axis
