Sub topics
• Co-planar and pure bending
• Elastic curve
• Angle of rotation
• Radius of curvature and flexural stiffness;
• Deflection; Bending stress;
• Euler’s formula for long column.
Co-planar and pure bending
The traverse sections which are plane and normal before
bending remain plane and normal to neutral axis.
Every layer is free to expand or contract
Modulus of elasticity has same value for tension and
compression.
Bends as arc of circle.
Radius of curvature is large.

Pure bending : No shear force only moment

Elastic curve
Beam subjected to couples
Elastic curve is arch of circle

Centroidal axis, neutral plane

Centroidal axis deflects in form of elastic curve or deflected


shape.

Radius of curvature and flexural
stiffness
Radius of curvature is radius of arc forming elastic curve.

Deflection
Displacement of the neutral plane from original position

Slope: Angle in radian made by tangent at any point of


neutral axis

Flexural formula

For a section M/I and E/R is constant.

Bending Stress
For sagging : tension below NA, compression above NA

For hogging: tension above NA, compression below NA

Proportional to distance from NA


Uniform Strength Beam
Each section has bending stress equal to allowable stress
𝜎𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 𝜎𝑦

Either by varying depth or height we can make beam of


uniform strength
