Skew bending in a circular cross section (proof)

Click For Summary
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.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of bending stress and torsion in structural mechanics
  • Familiarity with the principle of superposition in mechanics
  • Knowledge of moment of inertia calculations for circular cross sections
  • Basic concepts of stress analysis in materials
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the application of the principle of superposition in structural analysis
  • Study the derivation of the moment of inertia for various cross-sectional shapes
  • Explore advanced topics in torsion and bending in circular tubes
  • Learn about stress distribution in non-circular cross sections
USEFUL FOR

Structural engineers, mechanical engineers, and students studying mechanics of materials will benefit from this discussion, particularly those focusing on stress analysis in circular cross sections.

Good day all
I'm looking for the proof of stress generated in case of skew bending applied in acircular cross section ( I browsed internet the whole day without finding anything convincing)

many thanks in advance!

The principle of superposition says that forces due to torsion and forces due to bending of the tube should be simply added. The same goes for displacement. When many forces are applied, the order of summation of all forces is not important.

No need to break up the moment into its components, because the circle is symmetrical about all axes, and I is the same no matter which axis is chosen. Thus, bending stress at any point is Mf*r/I, where r is the perpendicular distance from the chosen point to the neutral axis, and if the radius of the section is R, then max stress is Mf*R/I, which occurs at the point on the edge of the circle which is a distance R measured perpendicular to the neutral axis.
