How to calculate bending stress?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking how to determine the bending stress in a structural element, which typically involves using the formula for bending stress based on the moment of inertia and the distance from the neutral axis.
Answer
σ = My/I
The final answer is σ = My/I
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is σ = My/I
More Information
The bending stress formula, σ = My/I, helps engineers ensure beams are strong enough to withstand applied loads without bending excessively.
Tips
A common mistake is neglecting the sign of the bending moment. Ensure correct sign conventions are used.
