In this video we explore bending and shear stresses in beams. A bending moment is the resultant of bending stresses, which are normal stresses acting perpendicular to the beam cross-section. We can ...

Use your results from the bending moment diagram to determine the location along the length of the beam for the maximum bending moment. Use the flexural stress equation, σ = -My/I, to determine the ...

Principal stresses are defined as the maximum and minimum normal stresses in a plane. Principal stresses are perpendicular to each other and oriented such that shear stresses are zero. For 3D stress ...

The traditional method for determining yield stress on a rotational rheometer or viscometer was by fitting models to the measured rheograms and extrapolating to zero shear rate. This article discusses ...
