Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A cantilever beam of length 2m and a rectangular cross-section with width 0.1m and height 0.2m is subjected to a transverse load of 500N. Calculate the deflection at the free end using Timoshenko Beam Theory.

💡 Hint: Break down the problem into shear and moment calculations first.

Question 2

Consider a steel beam with a Poisson's ratio of 0.3, how would the transition from Euler-Bernoulli to Timoshenko theory affect your design considerations for a bridge?

💡 Hint: Focus on implications of material properties and beam geometry.
