Mechanical Engineers on Instagram: "When the load misses the center… the stress story changes 😮⚙️ Eccentric axial loading = axial stress + bending stress in one shot. 🔹 Direct stress → P / A 🔹 Bending stress → P·e·y / I 🔹 Total stress → σ = P/A ± P·e·y/I One side screams under high stress, the other side relaxes 😌 That’s why eccentric loading is never just axial. If this clicked, you’re already thinking like a structural engineer 👨‍🏫📐 #EngineeringReels #StrengthOfMaterials #EccentricLoad
