Skew bending in a circular cross section (proof)

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion focuses on the proof of stress generated in the case of skew bending applied to a circular cross section. Participants explore theoretical aspects related to the mechanics of materials, specifically how bending and torsion interact in this context.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks a proof for the stress generated during skew bending in a circular cross section, indicating difficulty in finding convincing resources online.
  • Another participant introduces the principle of superposition, suggesting that forces due to torsion and bending can be added together, along with their displacements.
  • A different participant argues against breaking the moment into components due to the symmetry of the circular cross section, stating that the bending stress can be expressed as Mf*r/I, where r is the distance from the neutral axis.
  • This participant further claims that the maximum stress occurs at the edge of the circle, where it is calculated as Mf*R/I, with R being the radius of the section.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion contains multiple viewpoints regarding the approach to analyzing skew bending in circular cross sections, with no consensus reached on a definitive proof or methodology.

Contextual Notes

Participants do not clarify certain assumptions regarding the application of the principle of superposition or the conditions under which the bending stress formulas apply.

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)

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.
