Where Q is the first moment of area of the plastic region and So is the section modulus
of elastic portion.
When the whole section gets plastified, then the elastic core will vanish, i.e. yo = 0. The
moment capacity at this stage is known as plastic moment capacity denoted by Mp.
Therefore equation (3) becomes:

𝑀𝑃 = 𝜎𝑦𝑝 𝑏 −− −(5)

The term bh2/4 is known as the plastic section modulus denoted by Z which is sum of
the first moments of area of the tension and compression regions about the plastic
NA. Therefore, 𝑀𝑃 = 𝜎𝑦𝑝 𝑍 −− −(6)
𝐹𝑥 = 0 ⇒ 𝐶 = 𝑇 ⇒ 𝜎𝑦𝑝 𝐴𝐶 = 𝜎𝑦𝑝 𝐴 𝑇 ⇒ 𝐴𝐶 = 𝐴 𝑇
Thus plastic neutral axis divides the area in to two equal parts,
i.e. the compression area is equal to the tension area.
Now applying the moment equilibrium condition:
𝑀𝑃 = 𝜎𝑦𝑝 𝐴𝐶 𝑦𝐶 + 𝐴 𝑇 𝑦𝑇 = 𝜎𝑦𝑝 𝑍
where 𝑍 = 𝐴𝐶 𝑦𝐶 + 𝐴 𝑇 𝑦𝑇
Z is the first moment of area compression and tension regions
about the plastic neutral axis.
Therefore shape factor may also be defined as the ratio of plastic to elastic
section moduli.
