Problem Specification

Consider the beam shown in the figure below. Using MATLAB,

a) Find the reactions RA, RB
b) Find the bending stress σx at point O
c) Plot the variation of σx at point O as the inner radius of the tube is varied in the range 0.5 cm < ri < 1.5 cm

This tutorial uses MATLAB version 7.1.

Solution Steps

The MATLAB solution is divided into the following steps:

  • Step 1: Find Reactions RA, RB
  • Step 2: Find σx for ri = 1 cm
  • Step 3: Plot σx vs. ri
  • Step 4: Plot σx vs. ri: Take 2
  • Step 5: Plot σx vs. ri: Take 3
  • Step 6: Plot σx vs. ri: Take 4
