In simple bending theory the neutral axis of a section passes through

  • A.The point of maximum thickness
  • B.The centroid of the cross-section
  • C.The shear centre of the cross-section
  • D.The uppermost fibre

Answer: B

With no axial force applied, the resultant of the direct stresses must vanish, and that condition places the neutral axis through the centroid. The shear centre is a different point entirely and governs torsion rather than bending.
