Question 1

What type of material is assumed to be the same throughout according to beam bending theory?

  • Homogeneous
  • Inhomogeneous
  • Anisotropic

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember the definition of homogeneous.

Question 2

The neutral plane in a beam is where:

  • Stress is maximum
  • Stress is zero

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about where tension and compression balance out.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A cantilever beam of length 4 m is subjected to a point load of 2000 N at its free end. Calculate the bending stress at a point 1 m from the fixed end. Assume the moment of inertia is 0.001 m^4.

πŸ’‘ Hint: First, determine the bending moment at that distance.

Question 2

Discuss the effects on the design of a beam if the assumptions of homogeneous and isotropic materials were not satisfied.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how material inconsistencies can affect structural performance.
