Question 1

When is EBT appropriate to use?

  • When aspect ratio is low
  • When shear effects are minimal
  • For all beam types

💡 Hint: Think about the types of beams we discussed.

Question 2

The relative error must be small for EBT to be applicable. True or False?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the comparison of predictions.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A beam has a length of 12 m and height of 0.3 m. If using EBT gives a bending stress of 150 MPa and TBT gives 155 MPa, can EBT be used?

💡 Hint: Relative error = |TBT - EBT|/TBT * 100%

Question 2

For a beam with Poisson's ratio of 0.4, what is the minimum length-to-height ratio for EBT? Assume applicable threshold is 3.4.

💡 Hint: Consider how Poisson's ratio impacts the choice between theories.
