with respect any one of the axis.
TEN MARKS
1. Derive an Expression for the bending stress in an unsymmetrical section subjected to Mx and
My using Generalized Method and modify this equation with respect to neutral axis and
Principal Axis.
2. The thin-walled beam section shown in Fig. is subjected to a bending moment Mx applied in a
negative sense. Find the position of the neutral axis and the maximum direct stress in the section.
3. A thin-walled, cantilever beam of unsymmetrical cross-section supports shear loads at
its free end as shown in Fig. Calculate the value of direct stress at the extremity of the
lower flange (point A) at a section half-way along the beam if the position of the shear
loads is such that no twisting of the beam occurs.
4. For a beam section shown in fig. has four stringers. The area of the four stringers A, B,
C and D are 6.25, 3.125, 4.5 and 6 cm2 respectively. Find the stresses in all the four
stringers of the section due to MX = 50 kNm and MY = -20 kNm where x and y are the
centroidal axes. Assume that webs and walls are ineffective bending.
