Physics · Mechanics of Solids
When a beam is subjected to pure bending, the longitudinal fibres of one half are compressed and those of the other half are stretched. In between, there is a layer where the fibres are neither compressed nor stretched. This layer is called:
- 1The neutral surface of the beam✓
- 2The shear surface of the beam
- 3The elastic curve of the beam
- 4The axis of symmetry of the section
Correct answer
The neutral surface of the beam
