Bending stress is a type of normal stress that occurs in beams. The stress at the neutral axis of a beam under bending is zero, while the bottom fibers experience tension stress and the top fibers experience compression stress. The bending stress depends on the distance from the neutral axis, and is greatest at the top or bottom of the beam depending on whether it is bending upwards or downwards. Real-world examples of bending stress include a weight lifter's arms under compression stress.

BENDING STRESS

Bending stress is a more specific type of normal stress.


The stress at the horizontal plane of the neutral is zero.
The bottom fibers of the beam undergo a normal tension
stress. Like what shown in the figure.

l
At some distance along the x axis it is experiencing an internal
bending moment (M) ,that you can find by bending diagram . The
general formula for bending or normal stress on the section
shown in the figure .

Given a particular beam section, it is obvious to see that


the bending stress will be full by the distance from the
neutral axis (y). the maximum bending stress will occur
either at the TOP or the BOTTOM of the beam section
depending on which distance is larger
and it’s important to talk about whether the
stress is causing compression or tension of
the section’s fibers. If the beam is sagging
like a U then the top fibers are in
compression (negative stress) while the
bottom fibers are in tension (positive
stress).

If the beam is sagging like an upside-down


U so it is: the bottom are in compression
and the top fibers are in tension.
For a life example I would like to share mine

The man who is holding a bar in the gym (weight lifter)

Like this photo

His arms are subjected to direct compressive stress.
