Abstract

This report will explore the idea of Unsymmetrical bending and then calculate it on a beam
using both theoretical and experimental methods.
When the force does not pass through the principle axis of the cross section, unsymmetrical
bending is produced. The line that passes through the centroid of the body is the
principle axis.

The arithmetic mean location of all the points in a plane figure, known as the centroid in
mathematics and physics, is the geometric center of the figure. Informally, it is the distance at
which a shape cutout could balance exactly on the end of a pin. And the majority of design
methods incorporate this crucial idea.

Discussion

Conclusion

1-The principal axes are the main axes of a member that cross each other at the
centroid, or middle, of the region.

2-Unsymmetrical bending of a beam occurs when the major axes of the cross-
section are not parallel to the direction of loading.

3-When the load plane and one of the major axes of the beam cross-section
coincide, the result is symmetrical bending of the beam, also referred to as
uniaxial bending.
