Bending Stresses

Example:

Es =200 GPa

Ew=12.5 GPa

w , max =?

I

(longitudinal modulus of elasticity)

(flexure formula)

s ,max =?

C: distance from the neutral axis (NA) to the point of interest.

If simple rectangle, the neutral axis will be at the center of gravity.

For centroidal axes:

x =

A x
A y
, y =
A
A

X =0 , because the whole sytem is sysmetric across the y axis.

Now regarding the first image.

E w 12.5

To solve for this, you must convert steel to wood or vice-versa.

200 n=new dimension based on all wood .

I1 =

( 200 16 )( 20 )3+ (200 16 20 ) ( 110 )2

*LOOK BACK AT VIDEO 43:OO*
