Simple Bending Theory

Bending Stress in Prismatic Beams


Elastic Flexure Formulae (Bending Formulae)
Simple Bending
A member subjected to equal and opposite
couples acting in the same longitudinal plane is
said to be in ‘pure bending’ (or simple bending).
The moment of this couple is known as the
bending moment M in the section. (i.e. the
bending due to constant M is known as simple
bending)
Assumptions:

•Material is assumed to be homogeneous, perfectly elastic and


isotropic

•Transverse sections of the beam remain plane after bending.


(i.e. no distortions in transverse sections.)

•The resultant force ( in x-direction) across a transverse section


of the beam is zero.
Assumptions..
•The radius of curvature is large compared to the cross-
section dimensions.

•The beam is initially straight and all longitudinal filaments


(fibers) bend into circular arcs with a common centre of
curvature.

•The transverse section of the beam is symmetrical about an


axis passing through the centriod of the section and parallel
to the plane of bending. (symmetrical bending)

Bending Formulae
(Elastic Flexure Formulae)

σ/y = M/I = E/R


Where;
σ = bending stress at a distance y from the neutral
axis
M = bending moment at this section
I = second moment of area of the section
about the neutral axis.
R = radius of curvature of the neutral surface
E = Young’s modulus of the beam material
Problem 1
A light alloy tube of 10 cm outside diameter and
7.5 cm inside diameter rests horizontally on
simple supports 4.0 m apart. A concentrated
vertical load of 500 N is applied to the tube
midway between the supports.

Determine the maximum bending stress. Assume


that bending due to the weight of the beam can
be neglected and that the alloy is perfectly elastic
Problem 2
The light horizontal beam in Fig. Q2(a) rests on
two simple supports 4m apart and carries a point
load P = 1kN, 2m away from the left-hand end.
Draw the bending moment and shear force
diagrams for the beam. If the beam has a uniform
hollow cross-section as shown in Fig. Q2(b),
determine the maximum bending stress in the
beam.

Problem 3
The section of a ‘T’-beam has a web and a flange of
8mm thickness. The vertical web is 100mm high, and
the horizontal flange is 80mm wide and fixed to the top
of the web. The beam is 2m long and cantilevered to
carry a concentrated load of 2kN situated at 1.8m from
the built-in support. Determine the second moment of
area of the beam section and find the maximum
bending stress in the beam.

axial load of 75kN at 30mm from its centre.

developed in the pillar. Find the maximum possible

An unstayed mast (or a freestanding mast) of
a sailing dinghy consists of a hollow circular
section of outside diameter 80 mm and
inside diameter 70 mm. The wind loading on
the sail causes a bending moment of 2 kNm
at the base of the mast. Calculate the
maximum bending stress at the mast base.

A Sampson post of height 50m fitted on an oil tanker
has an outside diameter of 350mm and an inside
diameter of 300mm. It is subjected to a compressive
force of 35kN that is inclined at 15o from the vertical
and applied at the outer edge of the post at its very
top. Determine the bending moment and the
maximum stress developed in the post.

An open-link chain is manufactured by bending low-
carbon steel rods of 12mm diameter into the shape
shown in Fig. Q7. If the chain carries a load of 800N,

stresses in the straight portion of a link. Calculate the

narrow side of the section of the bar as shown. Determine the

the narrow sides such that the maximum stress over the remaining
