Calculate Bending Stress





Formula

The formula to calculate Bending Stress is:

\[ \sigma = \frac{M \cdot y}{I} \]

Where:

Bending Stress Definition

Bending stress is stress along the length of an object that arises from a bending force. It is calculated using the bending moment, the vertical distance from the neutral axis, and the moment of inertia about the neutral axis.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Using the formula to calculate Bending Stress:

\[ \sigma = \frac{500 \times 0.05}{0.0001} = 250,000 \, \text{Pa} \]

This demonstrates that with a bending moment of 500 Nm, a vertical distance from the neutral axis of 0.05 m, and a moment of inertia of 0.0001 m^4, the bending stress would be 250,000 Pa.
