How does the Bending Stress Calculator work?

Calculate: σ = M×c/I where M is moment, c is distance from neutral axis, I is moment of inertia Then: Or: σ = M/S where S is section modulus (S = I/c) Then: Results show stress distribution.

Can you give an example of how to use the Bending Stress Calculator?

Example: Input M = 50 kN·m, I = 1×10⁹ mm⁴, c = 200 mm gives a result of σ = 10 MPa at extreme fiber (Safe stress level).

Is the Bending Stress Calculator free to use?

Yes — completely free with no registration, download, or subscription required. All calculations happen instantly in your browser.

How accurate is the Bending Stress Calculator?

Our Bending Stress Calculator uses verified mathematical formulas and is accurate to multiple decimal places. Results are calculated in real-time using the same methods used by professionals.

Maalum

Bending Stress Calculator

Bending Moment (M, in-lbs)

Distance to Neutral Axis (y, in)

Moment of Inertia (I, in⁴)

Bending stress is normal stress from moment loading, the primary stress in beams. It varies linearly across the section, maximum at outer fibers.
