Consider the beam shown in the figure below. Using MATLAB,
a) Find the reactions R~A~R A, R~B~R B
b) Find the bending stress σ~x~ σ x at point O
c) Plot the variation of σ~x~ σ x at point O as the inner radius of the tube is varied in the range 0.5 cm < r~i~ r i < 1.5 cm
This tutorial uses MATLAB version 7.1.
...
The MATLAB solution is divided into the following steps:
- Step 1: Find Reactions R~A~R A, R~B~R B
- Step 2: Find σ~x~ σ x for r~i~ r i = 1 cm
- Step 3: Plot σ~x~ σ x vs. r~i~r i
- Step 4: Plot σ~x~ σ x vs. r~i~r i: Take 2
- Step 5: Plot σ~x~ σ x vs. r~i~r i: Take 3
