    Beam Bending, beyond the basics, a little

    Thanks! I must have been over thinking it. I was sort of approaching it as taking each side of the tube, and top and bottom, calculating MOI for each...and adding them together. Thanks for the help! Great forum! -Mark

    Beam Bending, beyond the basics, a little

    Ok, I am fairly comfortable with beam bending equations for simple rectangles. However, I am totally confused on how to approach other cross sections... like a channel can someone help? Or point me to a good online instructional resource? I have googled all I can think of... -Mark
