Calculating Bending & Shear Moment: Homework Statement

[Ialf]

Homework Statement

(a) Calculate the maximum bending moment
(b) Calculate the maximum stress in the beam
(c) At the point of maximum stress sketch a graph of the stress
distribution through the thickness of the beam, indicating which are
tensile and compressive stresses.
(d) Determine the dimensions of the cross section which will minimise
the maximum stress value if:
• the cross sectional area of the beam can be increased by 20%
• the beam section is to remain a solid rectangle
• neither the breadth or depth of the beam section can be reduced
below their original dimensions.
Show the dimensions of the proposed beam cross section with the aid
of a sketch

Determine the percentage reduction of the maximum stress value
when the new cross section is used.

Hi, Zimdo101:
lalf posted this question in August of 2014. He's probably moved on to another course somewhere, and he never posted again to this thread.
