31. In combined bending and torsion, the maximum stress typically occurs at

1. The centroid of the cross-section
2. The surface of the material
3. The neutral axis
4. The intersection of the bending and torsional axes

Answer

The correct answer is: D) The intersection of the bending and torsional axes

Explanation

The maximum stress usually occurs at points where the bending and torsional stresses combine to create the highest stress concentration.
