Prismatic structural members: Cross section flat and normal to the axis?

Abstract: In the study of prismatic bars subjected to bending forces, the authors of Strength of Materials generally assume the Navier-Bernoulli simplifying hypothesis which states that flat cross sections (CS) normal to their axes before deformation remain flat and normal to their axes.
