Question

No Normal stress acts on the neutral axis. Is it true or false? How?

Expert Solution
Step 1

When a beam is subjected to a bending moment the beam undergoes either hogging or sagging. In both cases, the normal stresses are set up in the cross section of the beam. 

The equation of stain for a section of the beam can be written as,

ε=-yρ

The stress on the cross-section can be expressed as,

σ=-Eyρ
