I have a quick question in relation to the Engineers theory of bending when applied to simply supported beams.
I am using the following portion of the theory to determine the stress in a simply supported beam when subjected to bending:
Stress = My/I
Is it appropriate that I compare the outcome from this calculation for stress to the yield stress of the given material as obtained from a simple tensile test in order to determine if the beam will yield under the given conditions?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
