Allowable Bending Stress Formula Elements

Variables
Allowable Bending Stress
Allowable Bending Stress is the maximum stress a material can endure without exceeding its elastic limit under bending deformation.
Symbol: f
Measurement: PressureUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Load on Beam
Load on Beam is the external force or weight applied to the beam, potentially causing deformation or stress.
Symbol: w
Measurement: ForceUnit: kN
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Length of Beam
Length of Beam is the dimension that measures the span or extent along the longitudinal axis, from one end to another.
Symbol: L
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Width of Beam
Width of Beam is the horizontal dimension between its opposite surfaces or edges, perpendicular to its depth and length.
Symbol: bBeam
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Depth of Beam
Depth of Beam is the vertical measurement between its upper and lower surfaces, perpendicular to its length and width.
Symbol: dBeam
