AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the direct force and bending moment at the midpoint of a bending beam. It is established that bending occurs at point B while compression is present at point A. The main challenge is determining the stresses at these points, particularly the values of direct force (N) and bending moment (M) at the midpoint of segment AB. Participants are seeking advice on the appropriate calculations and methods to resolve these stress values. Understanding these concepts is crucial for accurately analyzing beam behavior under load.

All info is in the link above


I am stuck on the problem for the longest time.

What I do know is that bending will be at point B and compression at point A.

I just don't know how to calculate the stresses at those points

any advice will help.

At the mid-point of AB, can you say what is the direct force, N, and the bending moment, M?
