Maximum shear in a beam
Engineering books and lectures typically make two things clear:
Maximum bending stresses (normal) develop at the beam surfaces, that is, at the greatest distance from the neutral axis.
Shear stresses ...

Why can't I-beam resist torsion but can resist shear stress due to transverse loading?
It is already known that the I-beam is very bending resistant (causes less deflection for the same transverse load and also results in lesser stresses relatively). But for an eccentric transverse load ...

Is bending moment along a beam independent of the cross sectional area of the beam?
We know this that if the a cantilever beam (of any cross section) is fixed at one end and a transverse force is applied on the other, then it will bend. However, we just casually assume that the ...

Does the Superposition principle actually make sense in reality for a rod subjected to bending and axial force togehter?
Consider a rectangular rod, for example. I fix it from one end and apply a transverse force on the other (to cause bending) and also a axial force (lets just assume its compressive). Now, according to ...
