    Explaining Bending Stress in Cantilever Beams

    Hey everyone, I was just wondering if someone could explain to me what Bending stress is? Supposed you have a cantilever beam with a point load at the free end, I know that the bending stress will decrease as you move away from the fixed end? but why? and how can you back that up? Also, as...

    Calculating Deflection and Stress in a Tapered Cantilever Beam

    Hey all, So I have this beam problem and I honestly am lost with it! The beam is I-section cantilever, tapers in depth along its length (See picture attached) with a point load at the free end. I am trying to figure out the deflection formula and how to derive it! Also, when calculating its...
