Tapered cantilever beam deflection and stress distribution

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on analyzing a tapered cantilever beam subjected to a positive moment and point loads, with specific geometric properties and material characteristics. The theoretical tip displacement of the beam is confirmed to be 0.3241mm using provided formulas. Participants are encouraged to evaluate the load boundary conditions and the stress distribution along the beam's top edge. The calculations involve determining the moment of inertia and applying the stress distribution formula. The thread remains open for further insights on the analysis despite being over a year old.

Homework Statement


A positive moment of 12000Nmm at the tip applied as two equal and opposite point loads of 1000N in the x direction at C and D.
The beam is fully fixed along AB. Young's modulus E = 200*(10^3) MPa and the poisson's ratio = 0.3.
Geometric Properties: Width, b=10mm... Length, L=200mm
Depth, d at AB = 36mm
d at CD = 12mm
Using the formulae provided, confirm that the theoretical tip displacement of the beam is 0.3241mm. In addition, calculate the σ_xx stress distribution along the top edge of the beam.

Homework Equations


I = [b*{36-(48x/L)}^3]/12 for x≤ L/2 and I'=[b*(12^3)]/12 for x> L/2
v=1/E ( ∫∫M(x)I(x)dx dx ) the integration for both integrals is from 0 to L
σ_xx = (-My)/I
