Loading distant from region, stress independent of loading details nearby.The formula is given by:

Where:

• $\sigma$ is the stress at a distance $z$ from the applied load.
• σ0​ is the stress due to any initial loading or boundary conditions.
• $M$ is the bending moment at the location of interest.
• $I$ is the second moment of area (also known as the moment of inertia) of the cross-section of the structural element.
