Elementary beam theory predicts that the axial bending stress ox in a prismatic beam is given by: ox = (M.I,M,L)y+(M,I.-M.I.) (1,1₂-13/2) where My and M₂ are bending moments applied to a cross-section, and where ly, lz and lyz are second moments of area in the usual notation (Oxyz is a Cartesian coordinate system in which the x axis corresponds to the centroidal axis of the beam). (iii) A Z--section beam has the cross-section shown overleaf (see Figure QB2). The second moments of area of the section about the y and z axes are given as;; ly = 1.12x106mm² and I₂ = 2.87x106 mm4. Show that lyz = 1.35x106 mm² (use the parallel axis theorem). 100 60 10 y -10 10 60 Figure QB2 N (iv) Bending moments Mz = 2.0 kNm and My = 0 kNm act on a cross- -section of the beam of part (iii). Obtain an expression for the bending stress and sketch the orientation of the neutral axis with reference to the y and z axes. What is the maximum tensile value of the axial bending stress and where does it occur?
