MOS PROJECT #2

A (160+Reg. No.) kN force is applied as shown at the

end of a hot-rolled steel beam. Neglecting the effect of fillets and of stress
concentrations, perform calculations in MS excel or MATLAB for the principal
stresses in the beam to satisfy a design specification that they be equal to or
less than 150 MPa. If the principal stresses are more than the given value, what
would you change in the beam so that satisfy the required stresses.
