Bending Stress Calculator

Calculate the bending stress on a beam using the bending moment, section modulus, or directly from load, span, and moment of inertia.




About Bending Stress Calculator

This bending stress calculator helps mechanical and civil engineering students compute stress developed in beams due to applied loads and moments.

Formulas Used:

  • σ = M / Z (Basic bending equation)
  • σ = (M × y) / I (From flexural formula)
  • M = (W × L) / 4 (For simply supported beam with center load)

Applications:

  • Beam strength analysis
  • Machine component design
  • Bridge and structural design
  • Mechanical engineering education

Keywords:
