32.-56Potential energy in bending. Determination of test stresses ( transverse bending, pair law, isolated surface, static moment, Juravsky, maximum value, strength condition)
When a beam or structural element undergoes bending, it stores potential energy due to the deformation caused by the applied bending moment. This potential energy is related to the internal stresses within the beam. Let's explore the determination of test stresses and related concepts in transverse bending:

1. 
   Transverse Bending: Transverse bending occurs when a beam or structural element is subjected to a bending moment perpendicular to its longitudinal axis. This bending moment induces internal stresses within the beam.
   
2. 
   Pair Law: The pair law, also known as the principle of virtual work, is used to determine the internal stresses in a beam undergoing transverse bending. According to this law, the product of the applied bending moment and the curvature of the beam is equal to the sum of the moments of the internal stresses across the section.
   
3. 
   Isolated Surface: In the context of transverse bending, an isolated surface refers to an infinitesimally small strip or element of the beam's cross-section. By considering the behavior of these isolated surfaces, the distribution of stresses throughout the cross-section can be determined.
   
4. 
   Static Moment: The static moment, also known as the first moment of area, is a property of the beam's cross-section. It is used to calculate the centroidal axis and is involved in determining the distribution of internal stresses in transverse bending.
   
5. 
   Juravsky's Method: Juravsky's method is a graphical method used to determine the distribution of test stresses across the cross-section of a beam in transverse bending. It involves constructing a stress diagram by plotting the test stresses at various points on the beam's cross-section.
   
6. 
   Maximum Value: In transverse bending, the test stresses are not constant throughout the cross-section. The maximum value of the test stress occurs at the point farthest from the neutral axis of the beam, where the distance is maximum and the lever arm is the greatest.
   
7. 
   Strength Condition: The strength condition refers to evaluating whether the stresses induced by transverse bending are within the allowable limits for the material. This is typically done by comparing the maximum test stress to the material's yield strength or another appropriate measure of strength.
