Elementary beam theory predicts that the axial bending stress ox in a prismatic beam is given by: ox = (M.I,M,L)y+(M,I.-M.I.) (1,1₂-13/2) where My and M₂ are bending moments applied to a cross-section, and where ly, lz and lyz are second moments of area in the usual notation (Oxyz is a Cartesian coordinate system in which the x axis corresponds to the centroidal axis of the beam).
