Bending Deformation of a Straight Member
 Cross section of a straight beam remains plane
when the beam deforms due to bending.
 There will be tensile stress on one side and
compressive stress on the other side.

Bending Deformation of a Straight Member
 Longitudinal strain varies linearly from zero at the
neutral axis.
 Hooke’s law applies when material is homogeneous.
σ = Eε
 Neutral axis passes through the centroid of the
cross-sectional area for linear-elastic material.

The Flexure Formula
 Resultant moment on the cross section is equal to
the moment produced by the linear normal stress
distribution about the neutral axis.
My
σ =−
I
σ = normal stress in the member
M = resultant internal moment
I = moment of inertia
y = perpendicular distance from the neutral axis

 By the right-hand rule, negative sign is compressive


since it acts in the negative x direction.

 A condition for flexure formula is a symmetric
cross-sectional area about an axis perpendicular to
neutral axis (symmetric bending)
 The flexure formula can also be applied either to
a beam having x-sectional area of any shape
 OR to a beam having a resultant moment that
acts in any direction (Unsymmetric Bending – see
later)

absolute maximum bending stress in the beam and draw the stress distribution over
the cross section at this location.

Example 6.17
The beam has a cross-sectional area in the shape of a channel. Determine the
maximum bending stress that occurs in the beam at section a–a.

Solution:
The resultant internal moment must be computed about the beam’s neutral axis
at section a–a. Since the neutral axis passes through the centroid,

y=
∑ y A = 2(0.1)(0.2)(0.015) + (0.01)(0.02)(0.25)
∑A 2(0.2)(0.015) + (0.02)(0.25)

Solution:
Applying the moment equation of equilibrium about the neutral axis, we have

+ ∑ M NA = 0; 2.4(2 ) + 1.0(0.05909 ) − M = 0 ⇒ M = 4.859 kNm

A T-beam is subjected to the bending moment of 15 kNm. Determine the maximum
normal stress in the beam and the orientation of the neutral axis.

Solution:
Both moment components are positive,

M y = (15) cos 30° = 12.99 kNm


M z = (15)sin 30° = 7.50 kNm
For section properties, we have

Composite Beams
 In reality, Beams constructed of two or more
different materials are referred to as composite
beams.
 The transformation factor is a ratio of the moduli of
the different materials that make up the beam.
