Problems on bending stress
1. A cantilever beam of length 2m fails when a load of
2KN is applied at the free end. If the section is Step 3: Calculation of bending moment about
40mmx60mm, find the stress at the failure. fixed end
Solution: M = WL
Step 1: Given Data: = (2)(2) B=40mm D=60mm

Length of beam = 2m or 2000mm L=2000mm

5. A rectangular beam 300mm deep is simply supported over a span of 4m.
Determine the uniformly distributed load per meter which the beam may
carry, if the bending stress should not exceed 120N/mm2.Take I=8x106mm4.
Solution: Step 3: Calculation of udl
Step 1: Given Data: M /I= σ / y
Length of beam = 4m or 4000mm 2 X106 W /8x106= 120 / 150
Depth of the beam = 300mm W = 3.2N/mm
maximum bending stress = σ =120N/mm2
condition: udl for simply supported beam
I=8x106mm4
Step 2: Calculation of maximum bending moment
M= W L2 /8
M= W (4000)2 /8
M= 2 X106 W
6. A square beam 20mmx20mm in section and 2m long is supported at the ends.
The beam fails when a point load of 400N is applied at the centre of the beam.
What uniformly distributed load per meter length will break a cantilever of the same
material 40mm wide,60mm deep and 3m long?
Solution: Step 3: Calculation of moment of inertia
Step 1: Given Data: I = bd3/12
case 1: point load application at centre of the beam = (20) (203)/12
Length of beam = 2m or 2000mm = 13333.33mm4
Cross section of the beam = 20mmx20mm Step 4: Calculation of bending stress
condition: simply supported beam M /I= σ / y
Step 2: Calculation of maximum bending moment 2 X105 /13333.33= σ / 10
M= W L /4 W=400N σ = 150N/mm2
M= (400) (2000) /4
M= 200x103 N-mm
6. A square beam 20mmx20mm in section and 2m long is supported at the ends. The
beam fails when a point load of 400N is applied at the centre of the beam. What
uniformly distributed load per meter length will break a cantilever of the same
material 40mm wide,60mm deep and 3m long?
