The beam shown in the Figure below is a stepped, flat bar having a constant thickness of 1.20 in. It carries a single concentrated load of C of 1500 lb. Compare the stresses in the following locations:
In the vicinity of the load
At the section through the smaller hole to the right of the section C
At the section through the larger hole to the right of section C
Near section B where the bar changes height.
Useful Formulas (You may find the following useful):
Members under axial and shear load
Axial stress σ=F/A
Shear stress 〖τ=F_s/A〗_s
Hook’s law E=σ/ϵ; δ=FL/AE; δ=∑_i▒(F_i L_i)/(A_i E_i )
Factor of safety
F.S.=σ_fail/σ_allow =τ_fail/τ_allow ; N=s_u/σ_max
Thermal stresses
Thermal displacement δ_T=∝ ∆T L
Bending of Beams
Bending stress σ_x=-(M_z y)/I_Z ,The maximum Stress: σ=Mc/I
Deflection of Beams and Shafts EI (d^2 y)/(dx^2 )=M(x)
Members under Torsion
For circular sections J_solid=(πD^4)/32=π/2 c^4 ; J_hollow=(π(〖D_o〗^4-〖D_i〗^4))/32=π/2(〖c_o〗^4-〖c_i〗^4)
Angle of twist ϕ=TL/GJ ; ϕ=∑_i▒(T_i L_i)/(G_i J_i )
Torsional shear stress τ=Tc/J
Power/Torque/Speed P=T×ω ; ω=2πf= 2πn/60
Transverse Shear
Shear Stress
τ= VQ/It ; Q=∑▒〖(y ̅^’ 〗 A^’)
