Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
An unsymmetrical I-beam is subjected to a vertical load causing non-uniform bending. Calculate the shear stress at various points along the height of the beam.
💡 Hint: Use the principles of equilibrium and shear flow calculations we've discussed.
Design a thin-walled open beam with defined loading. Relate it to how non-uniform bending will affect shear and design considerations.
💡 Hint: Consider how adjustments to your design might mitigate unforeseen circumstances due to force distributions.
