Bending Moment Stress
The equation for bending stress (σ) is derived from the bending moment (M) and is given by:
σ = M⋅y / I
where:
- σ = Bending stress
- M = Bending moment
- y = Distance from the neutral axis to the point where stress is calculated
- I = Moment of inertia of the cross-sectional area
This equation shows that bending stress is directly proportional to both the bending moment and the distance from the neutral axis, and inversely proportional to the moment of inertia.
