I'm doing some strength calcs using beer and johnston's "mechanics of materials book. I assume that the "c" dimension to the neutral axis of a beam in pure bending is taken from the side of the beam in compression.
is this correct?? My stresses come out much lower with it this way.
please advise...
thanks in advance.
