For a machine element subjected to bending, the maximum bending stress occurs at:

  • A.Halfway between the neutral axis and the outermost fiber
  • B.The neutral axis
  • C.The centroid of the section
  • D.The outermost fiber from the neutral axis

Answer: D

In a machine element subjected to bending the maximum bending stress occurs at the outermost fibre from the neutral axis. The bending stress is given by \[ \sigma = \frac{My}{I} \] where y is the distance from the neutral axis, so the stress is largest where y is largest. At the neutral axis and the centroid the stress is zero.
