Pure Bending

non-uniform bending 1-5
Principle of Superposition
• The normal stress due to pure bending may be combined with the
shear stress due to shear loading to find the complete state of stress.

SHEAR ON THE HORIZONTAL FACE OF A BEAM ELEMENT
Assumptions and limitations
The shear stress formula is valid only for beams of linearly elastic materials
with small deflections.
A common error is to apply the shear formula to cross sectional shapes for
which it is not applicable. For instance, it is not applicable to sections of
triangular or semicircular shape. To avoid misusing the formula, we must
keep in mind the following assumptions that underlie the derivation:
1. The edges of the cross section must be parallel to the y axis (so that the
shear stresses act parallel to the y axis).
2. The shear stresses must be uniform across the width of the cross
section. These assumptions are fulfilled only in certain cases, such as
those discussed in this and the next two sections.
Finally, the shear formula applies only to prismatic beams. If a beam is
nonprismatic (for instance, if the beam is tapered), the shear stresses are
quite different from those predicted by the formulas given here.

SHEAR ON THE HORIZONTAL FACE OF A BEAM ELEMENT
Assumptions and limitations
In the case of rectangular beams, the accuracy of the shear formula
depends upon the height-to-width ratio of the cross section. The formula
may be considered as exact for very narrow beams (height h much larger
than the width b). However, it becomes less accurate as b increases relative
to h. For instance, when the beam is square (b = h), the true maximum
shear stress is about 13% larger than the value given by Eq. (5-40).
