Maximum Bending Stress Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Bending Stress = (Bending Moment*Distance from Neutral Axis to Extreme Point)/(Polar Moment of Inertia)
σ_max = (M_b*c)/(J)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Maximum Bending Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Maximum bending stress is the normal stress that is induced at a point in a body subjected to loads that cause it to bend.
Bending Moment - (Measured in Newton Meter) - The Bending Moment is the reaction induced in a structural element when an external force or moment is applied to the element, causing the element to bend.
Distance from Neutral Axis to Extreme Point - (Measured in Meter) - Distance from Neutral Axis to Extreme Point is the distance between the neutral axis and the extreme point.
Polar Moment of Inertia - (Measured in Meter⁴) - The Polar moment of Inertia is a shaft or beam's resistance to being distorted by torsion, as a function of its shape.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Bending Moment: 53 Newton Meter --> 53 Newton Meter No Conversion Required
Distance from Neutral Axis to Extreme Point: 10 Millimeter --> 0.01 Meter (Check conversion here)
Polar Moment of Inertia: 54.2 Meter⁴ --> 54.2 Meter⁴ No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

σ_max = (M_b*c)/(J) --> (53*0.01)/(54.2)

Evaluating ... ...

σ_max = 0.00977859778597786

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.00977859778597786 Pascal -->9.77859778597786E-09 Newton per Square Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

9.77859778597786E-09 ≈ 9.8E-9 Newton per Square Millimeter <-- Maximum Bending Stress

What is stress?

Stress is defined as the force across a small boundary per unit area of that boundary, for all orientations of the boundary. Being derived from a fundamental physical quantity and a purely geometrical quantity, stress is also a fundamental quantity
