The maximum bending moment will either be at B or C.

If this is not obvious, sketch

shear and bending moment diagrams. We will directly obtain the combined moments
from each plane.

(a) Rod AB experiences constant torsion throughout its length, and maximum bending
moment at the wall. Both torsional shear stress and bending stress will be maximum on
the outer surface. The transverse shear will be very small compared to bending and
torsion, due to the reasonably high length to diameter ratio, so it will not dominate the
determination of the critical location. The critical stress element will be at the wall, at
either the top (compression) or the bottom (tension) on the y axis. We will select the
bottom element for this analysis.
(b) Transverse shear is zero at the critical stress elements on the top and bottom surfaces.

(a) Rod AB experiences constant torsion throughout its length, and maximum bending
moments at the wall in both planes of bending. Both torsional shear stress and bending
stress will be maximum on the outer surface. The transverse shear will be very small
compared to bending and torsion, due to the reasonably high length to diameter ratio, so
it will not dominate the determination of the critical location. The critical stress element
will be on the outer surface at the wall, with its critical location determined by the plane
of the combined bending moments.

The combined bending moment vector is at an angle of 29.7º CCW from the z axis. The
critical bending stress location, and thus the critical stress element, will be ±90º from this
vector, as shown. There are two equally critical stress elements, one in tension (119.7º
CCW from the z axis) and the other in compression (60.3º CW from the z axis). We’ll
continue the analysis with the element in tension.
(b) Transverse shear is zero at the critical stress elements on the outer surfaces.
