Transcribed Image Text:A cantilever beam of rectangular cross section (width b = 25 mm, height h = 100 mm) is
loaded by a force P that acts at the mid-height of the beam and is inclined at an angle a to the
vertical (see figure 2). Two strain gages (instruments that measure strain along their
orientation) are placed at point C, which also is at the mid-height of the beam. Gage A
measures the strain in the horizontal direction and gage B measures the strain at an angle
ß = 45°to the horizontal. The measured strains are 8, =125×10° and 8, =-375x10.
Determine the force P and the angle a , assuming the material is steel with E = 200 GPa and
v =1/3.
Figure 2: A cantilever beam is subjected to an inclined load.
Hints: The normal stress in the longitudinal direction is given by the component of the force
perpendicular to the cross-section divided by the area of cross-section. The shear stress on the
plane is given by
21
where V is the shear force, I is the second moment of area (moment of inertia) of the cross-
section, h is the height of the beam, and y is the distance from the neutral axis. Note that
point C lies on the mid-height which is also the neutral axis of the beam and therefore y=0
at this point. Also note that stress due to bending moment is zero at the neutral axis.
