1. Reinforcing steel wire rope provides resistance to bending moment from loads. 2. The FRP shell carries the shear and bending moment internal to the beam. 3. Both the bending moment and the shear force cause stresses in the beam. 4. A beam bends under bending moment , resulting in a small curvature. 5. For the bending moment diagram the normal sign convention was used. 6. Bending moment varies linearly over unloaded sections, and parabolically over uniformly loaded sections.7. This bending moment resists the sagging deformation characteristic of a beam experiencing bending. 8. This arrangement would reduce the bending moment at the wing roots, saving structural weight. 9. Brazier showed that under steadily increasing curvature the bending moment reaches a maximum value. 10. Note that the maximum bending moment and deflection occur midway between the two supports.
