Question
Determine the stress in a fiber (in psi) located 1inch from the top of the beam and 4 feet from the hinge. Refer to the illustrative example in the image below.
Flexure Formula
Example
A simply supported beam, 2 in wide by 4 in high and 12 ft long is subjected to a concentrated load of
2000 lb at a point 3 ft from one of the supports. Determine the maximum fiber stress and the stress in
a fiber located 0.5 in from the top of the beam at midspan.
EMR2 = 0
12R₁ = 9(2000)
R₁ = 1500 lb
EMRI = 0
12R₂ = 3(2000)
R₂ = 500 lb
