To find the maximum bending stress
• Draw shear & bending moment diagrams
• Find maximum moment, M, from bending
moment diagram
• Calculate cross-section properties
– Centroid (neutral axis)
– Calculate Area Moment of Inertia about x-axis, Ix
– Find the farthest distance from neutral axis for
cross section, c

V = shear force
I = area moment of inertia (2nd moment of area)
Q = first moment of area (above location y1)
