Flexure formula

M E

I y R
M = bending moment, N.m
I = second moment of area, m4
= normal stress in the member, N/m2
y = distance from neutral axis to point in question, m
E = Youngs modulus, N/m2
R = radius of curvature of neutral axis, m

Bending Stress
There will be tensile stress on one side and compressive
stress on the other side.
Longitudinal strain varies linearly from zero at the
neutral axis.
Neutral axis passes through
the centroid of the
cross-sectional area for
linear-elastic material.

Example 1
The simply supported beam has the cross-sectional area as
shown. Determine the absolute maximum bending stress in
the beam and draw the stress distribution over the cross
section at this location.

Solution:

The maximum internal moment in the beam is

M = 22.5 kN.m

By symmetry, the centroid C

and thus the neutral axis pass
through the mid-height of the
beam, and the moment of
inertia is
