Neutral Axis. — When a beam, Fig. 62, is subjected to abending moment its axis is deflected from its original straightposition into one of curvature, known as the elastic curve. Thefibers in the horizontal layers on the convex side are in… … Fig. 62. in which this surface intersects the plane of a section of thebeam is the neutral axis of the section. The neutral axis inva-riably passes through the center of gravity of a section whosematerial has its modulus of elasticity the same in tension as incompression. Consider the portion of…
