Answer:

The elastic section modulus is defined as S = I / y, where I is the second moment of area (or area moment of inertia, not to be confused with moment of inertia) and y is the distance from the neutral axis to any given fibre.

Explanation:

It is termed as the ratio of second moment of area and distance from N.A (Neutral axis) to the extreme fiber. Also it is the measure of strength of given member. The stress in the outermost section of beam is computed with the help of section modulus. It is indicated by S.

Section modulus is indicated as follows:

Here, I is “moment of inertia” and y is distance from “neutral axis” to top or bottom of fiber.

Unit of a “section modulus” is in.3(mm3).

Section modulus depends only on the cross section shape of the beam. Cross section shapes like rectangular, square, circular, I section and T, composite section etc.

For symmetric sections, the value of “section modulus” is for both above and below of centroid of the fiber.

An asymmetric section has two values for top and bottom of the fiber due to different distance from centroid to the top and bottom of the material, the maximum “section modulus” is S m ax and the minimum section modulus is S min.

Importance:

• It is significant for beam and flexural member design.

• More the section modulus, more the member is resistant to bending of the beam.

• It is easier to calculate stresses in beam and an exact measure of strength of steel.

• If two beams are made of same material and comparing the “section modulus” of two beams, the beam with bigger section modulus will be tougher and more capable to withstand larger loads.
