Calculation of maximum SF and BM – A) Maximum Shear Force – A beam of rectangular cross-section is subjected to a bending moment M (N-m) and a maximum shear force V (N). The bending stress in the beam is calculated as σ=6M/bd2 (Pa), and average shear stress is calculated as τ=3V/2bd (Pa), where b is the width and d is the depth of the beam.
B) Maximum Bending Moment – To determine the maximum stress due to bending = = |
