, 6.3 bending deformation of a straight member
⚫ Straight prismatic beam,
made of homogeneous
material is subjected to
bending.
⚫ Discussion will be limited
to beams having a cross-
sectional area that is
symmetrical with respect
to an axis, and the
bending moment is
applied about an axis
perpendicular to this axis Figure 6-18
of symmetry, as shown in
