BENDING STRESS
Introduction
Simple bending theory
Area of second moment
Parallel axes theorem
Deflection of composite beam
Introduction-bending
– In Chapter 1 & 2, we studied how to
determine the stresses in prismatic members
subjected to axial loads /twisting couples
– This chapter we will analyse the stresses and
strains in prismatic members subjected to
bending
– This chapter devoted to the analysis of
prismatic members subjected to equal and
opposite couples M and M’ acting in the same
longitudinal plane
SIMPLE BENDING THEORY
SIMPLE BENDING THEORY
• Neutral axis – axis along the length of the beam which remains unstressed when
it is bent
• Normally the neutral axis passes through centroid of the cross sectional area,
hence the position of the centroid is important
• Consider that the bea is bent into an arc circle through angle radians
• AB is neutral axis and is the same length before and after the bending
• The radius of the neutral axis is R

MOMENT
• Moment force
– concentrate at 1 point
– Easy to decide
• Moment of mass & area
– Not concentrated at 1 point
– Difficult to decide
• Solution
• The centroid is at the middle of the rectangle & maybe found at the point where the 2
diagonal crossed. In other words it is the half way for either edge
