The Y-axis is an axis of symmetry. At Y > 0 the beam is subjected to compression. At Y < 0 the beam is subjected to tension. At Y = 0 the stresses are zero, it is the neutral axis (N.A.).

Now let us go to the equations.

=0 (compression force at Y > 0 cancels tension force at Y < 0 )

from stress - strain rellation: z = E . z

from (1)&(2) get: Mx =A (E/) . Y2 dA =(E/) A Y2 dA = (E/) . Ix

Note that for same cross-section radius of curvature is constant. ( =const.)

The equation above gives a relation for the axial stress variation as a function in "Y" at certain cross-section. At acertain distance " Z" the angle of deflection is " ". = 0 Z d from eqn. (3) at Z = L = = Mx / k ; dZ = . d = 0 Z (1/) . dZ = (Z/)

; where k = E Ix/ L from defenition: The strain energy = area under curve of Load vs. Deformation =1/2 * Load * corresponding Deformation let: U = strain energy Mx U = 1/2 Mx

Vertical Displacement due to "Mx "only:


From Figure shown: slope of elastic curve = tan = -dv/dz for small "": tan = -dv/dz d/dz = -d2v/dz2 but: dz = d d/dz = 1/ =Mx/E Ix from above equations: d2v/dz2 = - Mx/E Ix

The last equation is called the elastic curve equation.

Before we consider the stresses acting on the beam, we note that any shearing force acting on a beam must be accompanied with bending moment. The beam is deflected as shown to the right. This means there are longitudinal stresses, which should be taken into consideration.
