UNSYMMETRIC BENDING

Problem 7-124. (Hibbeler)

A beam with the cross section shown in Fig. 7-124 is subjected to a moment M, which has a
magnitude of 20 kN*m. The resistng moment Mr on the cross section is in the direction shown
on the figure. Determine
a. The flexural stress at point A.
b. The orientation of the neutral axis (show its location on a sketch of the cross
section).
c. The maximum tensile and compressive flexural stresses in the beam.
Solution to Problem 7-124:
a. Flexural stress at point A.
