Bending stress is normal stress from moment loading, the primary stress in beams. It varies linearly across the section, maximum at outer fibers.
Формула
Calculate: σ = M×c/I where M is moment, c is distance from neutral axis, I is moment of inertia

Пошаговое руководство
- 1Calculate: σ = M×c/I where M is moment, c is distance from neutral axis, I is moment of inertia
- 2Or: σ = M/S where S is section modulus (S = I/c)
- 3Results show stress distribution
Решённые примеры
Ввод
M = 50 kN·m, I = 1×10⁹ mm⁴, c = 200 mm
Результат
σ = 10 MPa at extreme fiber
Safe stress level

- ✕Using average stress instead of maximum stress
- ✕Forgetting compression and tension can develop simultaneously
Часто задаваемые вопросы
Why does stress vary across the beam?
Outer fibers experience maximum stretch/compression; inner material near neutral axis experiences less.
How is section modulus useful?
S directly gives maximum stress: σ_max = M/S, simpler than calculating I and c separately.
