When a load applied on the beam then bend the beam downward direction.

M/I=F/Y=J/R.

From that equation we said that bending stress indirectly proportion to the section modulus.

Prasad said:   1 decade ago
Stress = M*Y/I.

So section modulus is I/Y.

Hence inversely proportional.

Section modulus is the ratio of bending moment to bending stress. So the bending stress is indirectly propositional to section modulus.

What means modulus?

Babubhilare said:   1 decade ago
Bending moment = Moment of resistance.

M/I = sigma/Y.
M = sigma/Y *I.

But I /Y = Section modulus i.e. = Z.
M = sigma*Z.

OR.

M/Z = sigma.
Due to which bending stress (sigma) is inversely proportional to section modulus.

Section modulus is the ratio between moment of inertia to the distance from neutral axis to extreme fiber.

Section modulus is Z = I/Y.

Bending moment is M = Stress*Z.

So stress = 1/Z*m.

Section modulus Z = I/Y -----------equation (1).

Bending Equation = M/I = F/Y = E/R.

M/I = F/Y.

M/F = I/Y.

Than from equation (1).

Z = M/F.

Which show the section modulus is inversely proportional to Bending stress.

What is section modulus?

Dev said:   9 years ago
As bending stress = My/I.
= M/(I/y),
= M/z.
Where z = section modulus.
