Principle of Superposition: The normal
stress due to pure bending may be
combined with the normal stress due to
axial loading and shear stress due to
shear loading to find the complete state
of stress.
Eccentric Loading: Axial loading
which does not pass through section
centroid produces internal forces
equivalent to an axial force and a
couple.
Transverse Loading: Concentrated or
distributed transverse load produces
internal forces equivalent to a shear
force and a couple.

THE FLEXURE FORMULA
Assume that material behaves in a
linear-elastic manner so that
Hookes law applies.
A linear variation of normal strain
must then be the consequence of
a linear variation in normal stress

THE FLEXURE FORMULA
IMPORTANT
X-section of straight beam remains plane when
beam deforms due to bending.
The neutral axis is subjected to zero stress
Due to deformation, longitudinal strain varies
linearly from zero at neutral axis to maximum at
outer fibers of beam
Provided material is homogeneous and Hookes
law applies, stress also varies linearly over the x-
section
