Pure Bending
MEE 320: Strength of Materials
Pure Bending
This part is devoted to the study of pure bending and of the stresses and
deformations it causes. In the picture below, the athlete holds the barbell with
his hands placed at equal distances from the weights.
This results in pure bending in
the center portion of the bar
The
normal
stresses
and
the
curvature resulting from pure
bending will be determined in
this part of the course.
We will account for stress concentrations where an abrupt change of geometry
occurs in a flat bar

Pure Bending
Prismatic members subjected to
equal and opposite couples acting
in the same longitudinal plane
In the middle portion CD of the
bar, the weight and reactions can
be replaced by two equal and
opposite moment couples

MEE 320: Strength of Materials
Bar Clamp
The bar clamp exerts forces on two pieces of
lumber as they are being glued together. Equal and
opposite forces are exerted by the lumber on the
clamp. The straight
portion of the clamp is
subjected to an eccentric loading.
Eccentric Loading: Axial loading which does not
pass through section centroid produces internal
forces equivalent to an axial force and a couple

Principle of Superposition
Principle of Superposition:
The normal stress due to pure bending
may be combined with the normal stress due to axial loading and shear
stress due to shear loading to find the complete state of stress.

MEE 320: Strength of Materials
Symmetric Member in Pure Bending
From statics, a couple M consists of two
equal and opposite forces.
The sum of the components of the forces in
any direction is zero.
The moment is the same about any axis
perpendicular to the plane of the couple and
zero about any axis contained in the plane.
Internal forces in any cross section are
equivalent to a couple. The moment of the
couple is the section bending moment.

MEE 320: Strength of Materials
Symmetric Member in Pure Bending
The sum of the components of the forces in
any direction is equal to zero since no external
forces are applied
8
The sum of the moments of the elementary
forces is equal to the external moments applied
The stress distribution in a given cross section cannot be determined from
statics alone. It is statically indeterminate and may be obtained only by
analyzing the deformations produced in the member.

Bending Deformations
The length of top surface decreases and the
length of bottom face increases.
Hence, a
neutral surface must exist that is parallel to the
upper and lower surfaces and for which the
length does not change.
In this scenario: Mz > 0
The surfaces above the neutral surface are under
compression,
i.e.
stresses
and
strains
are
negative.
The surfaces below the neutral surface are under
tension, i.e. stresses and strains are positive.

Reinforced Concrete Beams
Concrete beams subjected to bending moments are reinforced by
steel rods. The steel rods carry the entire tensile load below the
neutral surface. The upper part of the concrete beam carries the
