This Stress Distribution tool is designed to compute normal and shear stress distributions for various cross-sections, including circular, I-beam, channel, angle, rectangular, hollow section, and T-beam profiles.
Using the generated stress diagrams, engineers can identify critical zones within the cross-section by entering the bending moment and shear force values and comparing them with the calculated material resistance.
The bending moment (M) and shear force (Q) are determined as follows:
The most critical cross-section of the beam is highlighted in green. In this section, the maximum bending moment is M = 400 and the shear force is Q = 185 + 70.7 = 255.7.
Instructions:
- Select the type of cross-section (circular, I-beam, channel, angle, rectangular, hollow section, or T-beam).
- Enter the geometric characteristics of the chosen cross-section.
- Specify the bending moment (M) in your preferred units of measurement.
- Input the shear force (Q) in your preferred units of measurement.
- Click the "Calculate" button.
The results include generated stress distribution plots for normal and shear stresses, as well as a visual representation of the cross-section.
For convenience, the maximum stress values (in MPa) are displayed in the table below.
If needed, you can evaluate the stress at any point along the height of the cross-section. Simply check the "Determine stress by height" box and specify the distance from the centroid (indicated by the red dashed line) to your point of interest.

Additional information:
- Overall stresses are calculated using the third strength theory.
- To determine the bending moment M and shear force Q, use this calculator.
