Mechanics of Materials III:: Beam Bending

This document provides an overview of beam bending mechanics including: 1) Shear force and bending moment diagrams, elastic flexural stresses and strains, and elastic flexural formulas for determining stresses in beams undergoing bending loads. 2) Properties of beam cross sections including area moment of inertia (I), which represents a cross section's resistance to bending and can be determined by integrating the area of the cross section about its neutral axis. 3) Standard formulas for calculating the area moment of inertia of common shapes like rectangles, as well as techniques for composite shapes using the parallel axis theorem.
