6) Bending/Transverse Stress
Engineering - Mechanics of Materials ·Bending is somewhat longitudinal phenomenon. In that point one can get a longitudinal reference axis and members that are slender, called as Beam whose support loading is exerted on perpendicular to reference axis.
First of all, we have to mention the importance of beam. Beams exist almost everywhere in real world. For example, They are used to support the floor of a building, the deck of a bridge, or the wing of an aircraft. Also, the axle of an automobile, the boom of a crane, even many of the bones of the body act as beams.
In [Fig. 6.1.], one can have question: “Okay, I know the importance of beam, and some definitions about beam and bending. Then, how can I dive into the real analysis of bending?” It’ll be shown from now on.
