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.

(see attached image)

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



The Attempt at a Solution


I attached my attempted solution as a document.
