Question
The notched beam in Fig Q3 is subject to a transverse load of 9.05kN and a
couple of 1200Nm applied to the left hand end of the beam. The beam is
made of aluminium having a yield strength of 500MPA. The dimensions (R),
(S), (T), (M) and (N) are 50mm, 200mm, 95mm, 20mm, and 50mm
respectively. Each notch is 6mm deep and the notch radius is 2mm.
a) Sketch the free body diagram, bending moment and shear force
diagrams for the loaded beam.
b) Calculate the maximum axial stress in the beam and state its location,
ignoring the notch.
c) Sketch the stress profile through the depth of the beam at the notch and
include the maximum and reference stresses.
d) Determine the likely locus of failure and the factor of safety based on
axial yield, for both a notched beam and an identical beam without notch.
Comment on the suitability of the material in each case.
