SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the proof of stress generated by skew bending in a circular cross section. The principle of superposition is applied, indicating that forces from torsion and bending can be simply added. The bending stress formula is established as Mf*r/I, where Mf is the moment, r is the distance from the neutral axis, and I is the moment of inertia. The maximum stress occurs at the edge of the circle, calculated as Mf*R/I, where R is the radius of the circular section.
