Concept:

We have the bending equation for a beam, as

Where,

σ = Bending stress, y = distance from the neutral axis, M = Bending moment of any section, I = Moment of inertia, E = Modulus of Elasticity of material, and R = Radius of curvature.

When a beam is designed such that the extreme fibers are loaded to the maximum permissible stress ρmax by varying c/s, it will be known as beam of uniform strength.
