The section modulus, Z, can be found in many tables of properties of common cross sections (i.e., I-beams, channels, angle iron, etc.).

Bending Stress Equation Based on Known Radius of Curvature of Bend, r. The beam is assumed to be initially straight. The applied moment, M, causes the beam to assume a radius of curvature, r. Before: y s = E × After: r

E = Modulus of elasticity of the beam material y = Perpendicular distance from the centroidal axis to the M r M point of interest (same y as with bending of a straight beam with Mx). r = radius of curvature to centroid of cross section

4 Basic Stress Equations Dr. D. B. Wallace

Bending Moment in Curved Beam (Inside/Outside Stresses):

Stresses for the inside and outside fibers of a curved beam in pure bending can be approximated from the straight beam equation as modified by an appropriate Centroidal curvature factor as determined from the graph below [i refers to the inside, and o Axis refers to the outside]. The curvature factor magnitude depends on the amount of c curvature (determined by the ratio r/c) and the cross section shape. r is the radius M of curvature of the beam centroidal axis, and c is the distance from the centroidal axis to the inside fiber. r M ×c Inside Fiber: s = K × i i I M

M ×c Outside Fiber: s = K × o o I
