How to Evaluate Critical Bending Coefficient?

Critical Bending Coefficient evaluator uses Bending Moment Coefficient = (12.5*Maximum Moment)/((2.5*Maximum Moment)+(3*Moment at Quarter Point)+(4*Moment at Centerline)+(3*Moment at Three-quarter Point)) to evaluate the Bending Moment Coefficient, Critical Bending Coefficient is defined as the ratio of each load case critical moment to the pure bending critical moment of the beam. Bending Moment Coefficient is denoted by Mcoeff symbol.

How to evaluate Critical Bending Coefficient using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Critical Bending Coefficient, enter Maximum Moment (M'max), Moment at Quarter Point (MA), Moment at Centerline (MB) & Moment at Three-quarter Point (MC) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Critical Bending Coefficient

What is the formula to find Critical Bending Coefficient?
The formula of Critical Bending Coefficient is expressed as Bending Moment Coefficient = (12.5*Maximum Moment)/((2.5*Maximum Moment)+(3*Moment at Quarter Point)+(4*Moment at Centerline)+(3*Moment at Three-quarter Point)). Here is an example- 1.315762 = (12.5*50.01)/((2.5*50.01)+(3*30)+(4*50.02)+(3*20.01)).
How to calculate Critical Bending Coefficient?
With Maximum Moment (M'max), Moment at Quarter Point (MA), Moment at Centerline (MB) & Moment at Three-quarter Point (MC) we can find Critical Bending Coefficient using the formula - Bending Moment Coefficient = (12.5*Maximum Moment)/((2.5*Maximum Moment)+(3*Moment at Quarter Point)+(4*Moment at Centerline)+(3*Moment at Three-quarter Point)).
Can the Critical Bending Coefficient be negative?
No, the Critical Bending Coefficient, measured in Moment of Force cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Critical Bending Coefficient?
Critical Bending Coefficient is usually measured using the Newton Meter[N*m] for Moment of Force. Kilonewton Meter[N*m], Millinewton Meter[N*m], Micronewton Meter[N*m] are the few other units in which Critical Bending Coefficient can be measured.
