The Development of Stresses in Beams Explained

This video investigates the stresses that arise in a beam element subjected to different types of loads. The focus is set on the torsional loads that cause twisting of the section resulting in the so called St. Venant Stresses. Furthermore the twisting gives rise to the warping action that induces large bending stresses in the beam flanges. The video concludes with an experiment of a 3D printed section subjected to eccentric and concentric loading.
