A cantilever beam with a ‘T’ shaped cross-section is loaded with a distributed load as shown below. The intensity of the distributed load is 100N/mm. b = 6.25mm and c=6.25mm. Parameter Description Value Units L Beam length 250 mm a Width of the flange 80 mm d Height of the web 75 mm σ Yield stress 250 MPa You are tasked with ensuring the beam can withstand the applied loading. To do this you must: Create a two-dimensional contour plot of the bending and transverse shear stresses over the length and height of the beam (xy plane). You can use your results above to validate your approach. Note: perform these calculations in a program such as Matlab or Python. Provide the script.
