Calculating Stresses on Bent Aluminum Beam: Experiment Results

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating stresses in a bent aluminum beam (1in by 1/4in by 14in, Al 6061 T6) after deflecting it 0.09 inches at the midpoint. The user seeks to determine Sigma x, Sigma Y, and shear stress on the beam's expanded and compressed faces. Additional information about the experimental setup, particularly the location of point loadings, is necessary for accurate stress calculations. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding load application to derive the required stress values. Accurate calculations depend on the specific conditions of the experiment.

I am performing an experiment for my project. I have bended an aluminum beam of 1in by 1/4 in by 14 in (Al 6061 T6). I deflected the beam upto 0.09 in at the middle.
I need to find Sigma x, sigma Y and Shear stress on the expanded and compressed face of the beam which is 1 in by 1/4 in.
Can anybody tell me how to find those stresses?

More details about your experimental set up are required, specifically the location of the point loadings applied to the test beam.
