 Topic 3: Direct Stress Distribution due to Bending

If the beam cross section is

an axis of symmetry about any of
the axis, Product moment of
Inertia, Ixy is zero – Principal axes.

The value of direct stress at a point in the cross section of a beam subjected to
bending depends on the position of the point, the applied loading, and the geometric
properties of the cross section.

 In symmetrical bending theory,
The x axis becomes the neutral axis when My =0 (Vertical loading)
The y axis becomes the neutral axis when Mx =0. (Horizontal loading)

The position of the neutral axis depends on the form of the applied loading as well as the geometrical
properties of the cross section.

 Principal moment of Inertia (IUU & IVV):
The moment of inertia of an area about its principal axes are known as principal moment of
inertia.
The bending moment about any other axis (except principal axes) in known as UNSYMMETRICAL
BENDING.
