A steel beam of length L = 16 in. and cross- q=240 Ib'in. sectional dimensions b = 0.6 in. and h = 2 in. (see figure) supports a uniform load of intensity q = 240 Ib/in., which includes the weight of the beam. h=2 in. Calculate the shear stresses in the beam (at the cross section of maximum shear force) at points located 1/4 in., 1/2 in., 3/4 in., and 1 in. from the top surface of the beam. From these calculations, plot a graph showing the distribution of shear stresses from top to bottom of the beam. Also calculate the value of maximum and minimum bending stress (Choose at-least 4 point for a smoother curve) at the mid-length (S in) of the beam. You can use a graph paper. Also plot the 2-D stress element for the results obtained in this mumerical. b-0.6 in. L- 16 in.

Solid Mechanics

Engineering mechanics is a branch of science that deals with forces causing bulk motion in bodies and the effect that these forces cause on the bodies. Engineering mechanics does not deal with the internal changes that occur on account of these external forces. The internal effects in a body or a material under the action of external forces are studied in a new branch of science called solid mechanics, the strength of materials, or the mechanical behavior of engineering materials.
