Bending of Beams
It is important to distinguish
between pure bending and
non-uniform bending.
Pure bending is the
deformation of the beam under
a constant bending moment.
Therefore, pure bending
occurs only in regions of a
beam where the shear force is
zero, because V = dM/dx.
Non-uniform bending is
deformation in the presence of
shear forces, and bending
moment changes along the axis
of the beam.
How much
tensile stress?
Pure Bending
Pure Bending:
Prismatic members
subjected to equal and opposite couples
acting in the same longitudinal plane
Bending Deformations
Beam with a plane of symmetry in
pure bending:
member remains symmetric
bends uniformly to form a circular arc
cross-sectional plane passes through arc center
and remains planar
length of top decreases and length of bottom
increases
a neutral surface must exist that is parallel to
the upper and lower surfaces and for which the
length does not change
stresses and strains are negative (compressive)
above the neutral plane and positive (tension)
below it
