    General Beam Flexure - 7

    This document discusses flexure and bending in laterally stable beams. It first covers simple bending where the beam has at least one axis of symmetry and is loaded through the shear center without twisting. The maximum bending stress is calculated as the bending moment divided by the section modulus. It then discusses general flexure theory, referring to a section in a textbook on arbitrary prismatic beams that are free from twisting, where the orientation of loading and bending planes are defined.

    Flexure in Laterally Stable Beams

    Simple Bending {S&J Sect. 7.2}


    At least one axis of symmetry

    Loaded through the shear center (no twisting)

    fb(max.) = Mx/Sx + My/Sy

    x & y are the axes about which bending occurs

    The above equation is valid within the elastic


    range of behavior (up to the proportional limit,
    perhaps even accounting for residual stresses,
    1
    known as Myield)
    General Flexure Theory
    See S&J Sect. 7.10:
    For arbitrary prismatic beams, free from
    twisting (or at least free of any significant
    warping)

    S&J Figs. 7.10.1 & 7.10.2 (pure bending


    no bending gradient & no shear)

    g = orientation of the plane of loading

    a = orientation of the plane of bending

    General equilibrium and then bending in only


    the yz-plane (& only in the xz-plane) cases 2
