Engineering Maximum normal stress and shear stress

AI Thread Summary
To determine the external reactions at points A and B, additional relationships beyond the single equation for vertical forces (VA and VB) are needed. After calculating these reactions, the external moment can be established, allowing for the creation of moment diagrams for each cross-section to identify the maximum moment. The maximum normal stress can be calculated using the formula σ = -My/I once the maximum moment is known. Additionally, exploring the general formula for beam displacement can help impose a specific deflection condition, such as v(4) = -0.5 mm, to solve for VA, VB, and MA. The discussion also raises a question about the end deflection if support B were absent.

Homework Statement
A cantilever with elasticy modulus (##E = 13 \ GPa##) is subjected to the distribution of forces as in figure. The cross section T shaped is indicated in the figure. The moment of inertia with respect to the centroidal axis ##z## is ##1496.45 \cdot 10^6 \cdot mm^4##. In the absence of the distribution of forces, there is a lack of ##0.5 mm## between the bean and the mobile support. Knowing that the bean touches the support with the load distribution, find:
1) The maximum normal stress
2) The value of the maximum shear stress in the body
3) The deflection in the middle of the bean
Relevant Equations
##\sum{F_y} = 0##, ##\sum{M} = 0##
First, I am trying to find the external reactions in A and B, but I have only one equation relating ##V_A## and ##V_B##, what other relation could I use ?
Once I find the reactions, I can find the external moment as well. Then, I may draw the diagram of moments in each cross section and then find the maximum Moment. Using that ##\sigma = -My/I## I can find the maximum normal stress.

Indeed, maybe we can try to find the general formula for the displacement of the beam and then impose that ##v(4) = -0.5 mm##. With that, I think we may find ##V_A, V_B, M_A## and find the diagram of moments, to find its maximum value
 
What would the end deflection be if B was not there?
