-BENDING STRESS
Introduction:
Bending Stresses
This section firstly derives the fundamental relationship between the bending
moment, second moment of area, direct stress, Young's modulus, radius of curvature
and position in the beam cross section for a beam. This is then taken a step further
with the relationship made to the differential equation of the deflection curve; used to
calculate gradients of and deflections in beams.
For the portion of beam shown above, when subject to bending, the 'top' will be
in compression and the bottom will be in tension. Consequently, it follows that there
must be a portion in between bearing no stress. This is known as the neutral plane or
in a longitudinal sense, the neutral axis, N.A., and is where the longitudinal deformation
is zero

Now, consider a fibre EF, between sections AC and BD, which is dx long.
Initially, EF will be the same length as GH at the N.A. The beam bends and EF extends
to E'F'; but GH stays unstrained to G'H'.
GH = G ′H ′ = dx
= R.dθ
Also, it follows that
E ′F ′ = (R + y).dθ
E ′F ′ - EF
εx=
EF
but
EF = GH = G′H ′
= R.dθ
so it follows that
(R + y).dθ - R.dθ
εx=
R.dθ
thence

εx=
R

Further more, as
dx = R.dθ
so

therefore

____________________________________________________________BENDING STRESS
dF x = σ x .dA
F x = ∫ A σ x .dA
The total force over the section must be ZERO (as no external force is acting
over the section, i.e. ΣF = 0). Consequently we may write
F x = ∫ A σ x .dA = 0
E
∫ y.dA = 0
R A
E

R
and hence
∫ A y.dA = 0
this is the first moment of area of the section about the N.A. The 1st
moment of area about its centroid is zero, and therefore the N.A. and
centroid are coincident.
Taking moments, the elemental force dFx acts at a distance y from the N.A.,
therefore

____________________________________________________________BENDING STRESS
dM = y. dF x
∫ A dM = ∫ A y. dF x
= ∫ A y.σ x dA
The externally applied moment M must balance this moment, i.e. ∫AdM = M and
hence
M = ∫ A y σ x .dA
Again substituting for σx from equation (2) (i.e. E/R = σx/y) gives
E 2
M= ∫ A y .dA
R
Now, ∫Ay2 dA is the second moment of area of the cross section and denoted I.
Hence we may write that

M= I

or alternatively

The figure above shows a beam that is bent by a small amount. Now, it can be
seen that
ds = R.dθ
and that
1 dθ
=-
R ds
It is true that ds ≈ dx, as the beam is subjected to a small deformation, and that θ
≈ tanθ. Additionally, tanθ = dv/dx where v are vertical deflections which are relatively
small.
Hence we may write that θ = dv/dx and differentiate with respect to x giving
dθ d 2 v

I x′ = ∫ A y .dA + 2b ∫ A y.dA + ∫ A b .dA
Now, as ∫A y dA = 0 (the 1st moment of area) about its centroidal axis, it follows
that
2
I x′ = I x + b A
And similarly

I y′ = I y + a A
So far in lectures we have assumed that the beam sections are symmetrical
about the plane of bending

Now, if a bending moment is applied to a beam about the x-x axis such that no
bending occurs about the y-y axis then
∫ A σ .dA x x = 0

∫A x.dA = 0

∫ A xy.dA = 0
This last integral is known as the product moment of area or, sometimes, the
product of inertia and is measured about the x-x and the y-y axes. In this case, it was
shown for pure bending: when the product moment of area is taken about the centroidal
axes and perpendicular to the plane of bending it is ZERO.
When the product moment of area is ZERO about a set of mutually
perpendicular axes, then these axes will be principal axes; and will be the principal axes
of the section in question. The second moments of area about a set of principal axes
are called the principal second moments of area; being maximum and minimum
values about any set of axes passing through the centroid.

Let us consider the figure above which shows a set of reference axes denoted x
and y with second moments of area Ix, Iy and Ixy. Also shown are a set of axes
equivalent to the previous axes rotated anti-clockwise through and angle θ and denoted
x', y'; with their respective second moments of area Ix', Iy' and Ix'y'.

axes for which the product moment of area is zero are the principal axes, and so
by setting the final equation for Ix'y' = ZERO we may determine the angle of the axes
about which the maximum and minimum principal second moments of area occur.
Hence

cos 2θ . I xy = sin 2θ .( I y - I x )

The maximum and minimum principal second moments of area are given the
notation Iu and Iv. It should be noted that Iu + Iv = Ix + Iy.
In Summary, so far.
• The axes for which Ixy is zero are called the principal axes of a section and are
the axes about which bending takes place.
• For a symmetrical section the axes of symmetry are also principal axes.
• For an unsymmetrical section, e.g. an angle section, the position of the principal
axes must be determined.

Asymmetrical Bending
Introduction
So far, our analysis has concerned itself with finding first and second moments of
area, product moments of area, and then applying these properties of a shape to
identifying the principal axes. Now, it is also important to be able to analyse the
bending in a component which either does not have any axes of symmetry or for a
symmetrical section about an asymmetrical axis. We will now, thus, consider a beam
with unsymmetrical bending moment or skew bending.
M u = M.cos α
and
M v = M.sin α
From the engineer's theory of bending the direct stress along the axis of the
beam, σz, is given by

σ z=

M. cos α M.sin α
σ z= .v + .u
I uu I vv
Or, simplifying
cos α sin α
σ z = M. .v + .u
I uu I vv
When there is a moment inclined to the principal axes then the neutral plane will
no longer be perpendicular to the plane of bending. However, the neutral plane can be
simply determined by setting the last equation equal to ZERO, i.e. σz = 0 which is the
v. cos α u.sin α

I uu I vv

v = - uu tan α .u

Consequently we may give the inclination of the neutral axis as a result of this
unsymmetrical bending moment. Denoting this inclination φ and referencing it from the
principal axis u-u
tan φ = - I vv tan α
I uu

However, we can recall that

Similarly for Mx in the zx-plane

For simultaneous bending the above results may be superimposed to yield
the following
EI y EI yx
My = +=

EI x EI yx
Mx =+=

The above equations can be solved to give radii of curvature in y and x

=
Ry E ( I y I x − I yx2 )

It should be noted that the last but one pair of equations can be re-written in
matrix form

The resulting bending stress is thus the summation of the components for
bending in each of the zy and zx-plane.

Also when Ixy = 0 the bending stress relationship can be simplified to the

This condition will occur when either or both the centroidal axes lie as axes of
symmetry and are thus principal axes.
The position of the neutral axis is such that it always passes through the

zero.
( M y I x − M x I xy ) x + ( M x I y − M y I xy ) y = 0
Example
Determine the position of the centroid and the centroid second moments of area
for the following section
Firstly a table should be draw up with the following format taking values with a x-y
co-ordinate datum at the bottom left hand corner of the section. (In order to keep
numbers small centimetres have been used; however this is not a preferred unit.)
