Sorry, by mid-shaft I mean 'at 50% of the length of the beam'
Yes, I would expect there to be significant shearing. I'm not surprised the FEA values are higher than the simple beam predictions. I'm just unsure why von mises stress is closer to the predictions than max. principal stress.
Cheers
Hi, I'm running some FEA models of long bones in Abaqus.
I've extracted the cross-sectional properties at midshaft, and I've calculated what the predicted bending stress would be according to Euler beam theory applying the same bending load as FEA.
