Bending Deformation, Strain and
Stress in Beams
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 cros section within its own plane.

Calculate stress
WHERE IS
BENDING STRESS
MAXIMUM???
Answer:
Outer surface
(furthest away from
Neutral Axis)
Value of x along
length where moment
is maximum!!
