Elastic bending result
Maximum bending stress100 MPa
At the extreme fibre
- Section modulus
- 10,000 mm³
- Bending stress
- 100 MPa
This simple elastic relation excludes stress concentrations, lateral buckling, shear, deflection, fatigue and combined loading. Use the section modulus about the actual bending axis.
