Consider the beam shown in the figure below. Using MATLAB,
a) Find the reactions R()A, R()B
b) Find the bending stress σ()x at point O
c) Plot the variation of σ()x at point O as the inner radius of the tube is varied in the range 0.5 cm < 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()B
- Step 2: Find σ()x for r()i = 1 cm
- Step 3: Plot σ()x vs. r()i
- Step 4: Plot σ()x vs. r()i: Take 2
- Step 5: Plot σ()x vs. r()i: Take 3
