Sources for equations

where did you get these equations?

can you provide any references? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.230.103.131 (talk) 19:57, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Figure is not correct?

Curvatures of load points are wrong... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.130.107.42 (talk) 17:23, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What are you asking? I can't decipher it. Wizard191 (talk) 18:31, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect formula?

I think the formula for circular cross section is wrong. I do not have a reference to back up my argument. I derive it myself. For circular cross section, the moment of inertia is $I={\frac {\pi R^{4}}{4}}$ , the maximum stress is $\sigma _{f}={\frac {PL}{4Z}}={\frac {PLR}{4I}}={\frac {PL}{\pi R^{3}}}$ , instead of the value ${\frac {3PL}{\pi R^{3}}}$ showing on the page.

Can someone confirm it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.165.95.71 (talk) 19:19, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As seen in the article itself, someone added a reference. I also confirmed this using the source, Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering: An Integrated Approach, 4th ed. by Callister & Rethwisch. p. 223. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.216.6.120 (talk) 17:36, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
