BENDING
INTRODUCTION: When some external load acts on a beam, the Shear force and bending moments are set up at all sections of the beam. Due to shear force and bending moment, the beam under-goes certain deformation; the material of the beam will offer resistance or stresses against these deformations. The stresses introduced by bending moment are known as bending stresses. PURE BENDING OR SIMPLE BENDING: If a length of a beam is subjected to a constant bending moment and no shear force (i.e., zero force), then the stresses will be set up in that length of the beam due to B.M. only and that length of the beam is said to be in pure bending or simple bending. The stresses set up in that length of the beam are known as bending stresses.

THEORY OF SIMPLE BENDING WITH ASSUMPTION MADE: The following are the assumption made in the theory of simple bending. The material of the beam is homogenous (the material is of the same kind throughout) and isotropic (the elastic properties in all direction are equal). The value of Youngs modulus of elasticity is the same in tension and compression. The transverse sections which were plane before bending remain plane after bending also. The beam is initially straight and all longitudinal filaments bend into circular area with a common center of curvature. The radius of curvature is large compared with the dimension of the crosssection. Each layer of the beam is free to expand or contact, independently of the layer, above or below it.

MOMENT OF RESISTANCE: Due to pure bending, the layers above N.A. are subjected to compressive stresses whereas the layers below the N.A. are subjected to tensile stresses. Due to theses stresses, the forces will be acting on the layers. There forces will have the moment about the N.A. The total moment about the N.A. for a section is known as the moment of resistance of that section.
