SUMMARY
When applied loads act along a beam, an internal bending moment which varies from point to point along the axis of the beam is developed. A bending moment is an internal force that is induced in a restrained structural element when external forces are applied. Failure by bending will occur when loading is sufficient to introduce a bending stress greater than the yield stress of the material. Bending stress increases proportionally with bending moment. It is possible that failure by shear will occur before this, although while there is a strong relationship between bending moment and shear forces, the mechanics of failure are different.
A bending moment may be defined as “the sum of turning forces about that section of all external forces acting to one side of that section”. The forces on either side of
