FLEXURE FORMULA & EXAMPLES

INTRODUCTION
Bending Deformation and Strain

Key Points:
1. Bending moment causes
beam to deform.
2. X = longitudinal axis
3. Y = axis of symmetry
4. Neutral surface does
not undergo a change in
length
Key Points:
1. Internal bending moment causes beam to deform.
2. For this case, top fibers in compression, bottom in tension.
Key Points:
1. Neutral surface no change in length.
2. All cross-sections remain plane and perpendicular to longitudinal axis.
3. Neglect deformation of cross section within its own plane.

EXAMPLE #1
EXAMPLE #1
A high strength steel band saw,
20mm wide by 0.80mm thick, runs
over pulleys 600mm in diameter.
What maximum flexural stress is
developed? What minimum
diameter pulleys can be used
without exceeding a flexural stress
of 400 Mpa? Assume E = 200GPa.
For Flexural Stress developed:

M=


fb =




fb =


fb =

( 10 3 )(0.80/2)
fb =

fb = 266.67 MPa
Minimum diameter of pulley:

fb =

( 10 3 )(0.80/2)
400 =

= 200 mm

Diameter, d = 400mm
EXAMPLE #2

Determine the minimum height h of the beam shown


below if the flexural stress is not to exceed to 20 Mpa.

3 = 2(5) + 2(2.5)(4)

3 = 1(5) + 1(2.5)(4)

EXAMPLE #3
A 50-mm diameter bar is used as a simply supported beam 3 m
long. Determine the largest uniformly distributed load that can
be applied over the right two-thirds of the beam if the flexural
stress is limited to 50 MPa.

Consider section between B and C

VBC = w w(x-1)

MBC = O
MBC = w(x) w(x-1){(x-1)/2}
EXAMPLE #4
A simply supported beam, 2 in wide by 4 in highand 12 ft long is
subjected to a concentrated load of 2000 lb at a point 3 ft from one of
the supports. Determine the maximum fiber stress and the stress in a
fiber located 0.5 in from the top of the beam at midspan.

EXAMPLE #5
A timber beam AB, 6 in wide by 10 in deep and 10 ft long,
is supported by a guy wire AC in the position shown below.
The beam carries a load, including its own weight, of 500 lb
for each foot of its length. Compute the maximum flexural
stress at the middle of the beam.
EXAMPLE #6
A FLAT STEEL BAR, 1 INCH WIDE BY INCH THICK AND 40
INCHES LONG, IS BENT BY COUPLES APPLIED AT THE ENDS
SO THAT THE MIDPOINT DEFLECTION IS 1.0 INCH. COMPUTE
THE STRESS IN THE BAR AND THE MAGNITUDE OF THE
COUPLES. USE E = 29 106 PSI.
SOLUTION

( 1)2 + 202 = 2
2 2 +1+400=2
