Bending Stress Calculator
Result
Bending Stress Calculator Calculate the maximum bending (flexural) stress in a beam using the flexure formula σ = M·c / I, where M is the bending moment, c is the distance from the neutral axis to the outer fibre, and I is the second moment of area. Enter — free online calculator.
Formula
- Bending Stress Calculator calculates its result from Bending moment, Distance from neutral axis, Second moment of area. It uses the formula M*c/I. Change any input to recalculate the result instantly.
- The main inputs are Bending moment, Distance from neutral axis, Second moment of area. Enter them in the units and format shown in the calculator.
- Keep measurements and project assumptions consistent before comparing or combining values.
- Changing any input above recalculates the result with the same calculation engine used by this page.
Example: Bending Stress
- Bending moment: 1000
- Distance from neutral axis: 0.05
- Second moment of area: 1.0E-6
Using Bending moment = 1000, Distance from neutral axis = 0.05, Second moment of area = 0.000001, the calculated result is 50000000.
