The von Mises criterion reduces in the case of the constant cross-section to
the form given in Eq. (5.191).
Figure 5.64 shows the variation of the normal bending stresses under the
action of and respectively.
Figure 5.64 Bending-produced stresses over the cross-section
The bending-produced stresses are zero in the symmetry axes‚ and reach a
maximum (either positive – corresponding to tension‚ or negative –
corresponding to compression) on the outer fibers. The bending moment
