MDB Lesson 10 Stresses in Beams
MDB Lesson 10 Stresses in Beams
Assumptions
In using the succeeding formulas for flexural and
shearing stresses, it is assumed that a plane section of the
beam normal to its longitudinal axis prior to loading
remains plane after the forces and couples have been
applied, and that the beam is initially straight and of
uniform cross section and that the moduli of elasticity in
tension and compression are equal.
Flexural Stress Formula
𝑀 = න 𝑦 𝑑𝐹 = න 𝑦 𝜎 𝑑𝐴
𝑀 𝑀 𝑦 𝑀𝑦
𝜎= = ∙ =
𝑦 𝑦 𝐴𝑑 𝑦 𝐴𝑑 𝑦 2 𝑑𝐴
𝑦 2 𝑑𝐴 = 𝐼 which is the moment of inertia about the neutral axis, then
the Flexural Stress at any distance 𝑦 from the N.A. is
𝑴𝒚
𝝈=
𝑰
and the maximum flexural stress is
𝑴𝒄
𝑴𝒂𝒙. 𝝈 =
𝑰
The maximum flexural stress can also be written as
𝑴
𝑴𝒂𝒙. 𝝈 =
𝑺
𝐼
where 𝑆 = is called the section modulus and 𝑐 is the
𝑐
distance from the neutral axis to the extreme fiber.
