Bending equation derivation

Following are the assumptions made before the derivation of the bending equation:

 The beam used is straight with a constant cross-section.

 The beam used is of homogeneous material with a symmetrical longitudinal plane.
 The plane of symmetry has all the resultant of applied loads.
 The primary cause of failure is buckling.
 E remains same for tension and compression.
 Cross-section remains the same before and after bending.

The classical theory of beam flexure, also called the EulerBernoulli beam theory
(EBT) neglects the effects of he transverse shear strains and deformation, and
stress concentration [1-5]
Assumptions of merchant theory:
1) The tool is perfectly sharp and there is no contact along the clearance face.
2) The shear surface is plane extending upward from the cutting edge
3) The cutting edge is a straight line, extending perpendicular to the direction of
motion and generates a plane surface as the work moves past it.
4) The chip does not flow to either sides.
5) The depth of cut is constant.
6) Width of tool is greater than that of work piece.
7) The work moves relative to the tool with uniform velocity.
8) A continuous chip is produced with no built up edge.
