Stress Analysis of Thin-Walled Beams

The document outlines Homework #2 for a Mechanical Engineering course focused on stress analysis of thin-walled and curved beams. It includes problems requiring the calculation of stress at specified points for a T-shaped cross-section under various loads, as well as determining maximum shear stress and angle of twist for different torque values. Detailed hand calculations are required for full credit.

Homework #2 Stress of thin-walled and curved beams


Please provide details in all steps of hand calculations for full credit.
[1] A machine component has a T-shaped cross section
that is orientated as shown. Knowing that M = 2.5 kN 
m, determine the stress at (a) point A, (b) point B.

[2] Knowing that P  10 kN, determine the stress at (a)


point A, (b) point B.

[3] The Cross section shown is subjected to a torque 𝑇 = 900 𝑁 𝑚. Determine the maximum
shear stress in the cross section and the angle of twist of the cross section. The shear modulus of
the thin-walled beam is 𝐺 = 28 𝐺𝑃𝑎.
