Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given an unsymmetrical beam with specific geometric properties and a bending moment applied, derive the equation for the position of the neutral axis and its angle of inclination.
💡 Hint: Start with the equilibrium conditions for bending moments.
Evaluate how the inclination of the neutral axis would affect the stress distributions in a composite cross-section of two different materials subjected to the same bending moment.
💡 Hint: Consider the differences in Young's Modulus for the materials.
