Question
A solid square beam (h₁ x h₁) and a rectangular beam (b₂ x h₂; b₂<h₂, that is a narrow rectangular cross section)
are made of the same material. Both have the same beam length (L1-L₂) and same cross-sectional area (A₁-
A₂). Which beam offers a better design in support of "pure bending"?
Question p
A copper wire having a diameter of d is bent into a circle and held with the ends just touching (see figure).
If L-5.5 m, what is the maximum acceptable diameter of the wire such that the maximum normal strain must
remain below the yield stress limit? Assume E-120 GPa and ay-300 MPa.
