Objective
• To study the bending or flexural behavior of the beam
Related Theory
Shear Force
The sum of all the forces acting perpendicular to the section or forces which tend
to slides two part of the section on each other.
Elastic Curve
A line representing the deformed form of the center line of the beam is known as
Elastic Curve.
Flexural Stress
Stresses produced by the bending moment is known as Flexural Stress.
Stresses
Internal resistance of the material against loading is known as Stress.
Flexural Equation
It is the fundamental relationship between the Bending moment and geometry of
deformation.
Flexural Formula
It gives a relationship in bending moment and flexural stresses.
Modulus of Rupture
• It is the energy absorbed per unit volume when the specimen is loaded
from zero to failure.
• It is the maximum tensile stress which can be developed in the beam
before failure.

Comments
Wooden beam should be fracture symmetrically from the both sides because we
have applied symmetrical load by Two Point Load System, but we can see from
the sketch of wooden beam after fracture, it did not fracture in that manner. This
can be due to some weakest plane in the way of fracture. On the right side of the
beam it fractured perfectly.
