Question
Shown below is a horizontal beam that is fixed at the left end and is cyclically operated at the right
end by a vertical actuator that deflects it 3 mm up and 10 mm down, both from the horizontal position.
The frequency of cycling is 2 Hz. The beam is 250 mm long and has a rectangular cross section of
20 mm width. The beam's material is a steel with Sut = 440 MPa, Syt = 370 MPa, and a fully modified
Se = 250 MPa.
