Question

The composite beam is made of A-36 steel (A) bonded to C83400 red brass (B) and has the cross section shown. If the allowable bending stress for the steel is \(\left(\sigma_{\text {allow }}\right)_{\mathrm{st}}=180\ \mathrm{MPa}\) and for the brass \(\left(\sigma_{\text {allow }}\right)_{\mathrm{br}}=60\ \mathrm{MPa}\), determine the maximum moment M that can be applied to the beam.

Solution

Step 1 of 7

Obtain the following properties using Table “Average Mechanical Properties of Typical Engineering Materials-SI Units”, from back side of the textbook.

Young’s modulus of A-36 steel, \(E_{s t}=200\ \mathrm{GPa}\)

Young’s modulus of C83400 red brass \(E_{br}=101\ \mathrm{GPa}\)

Transform the whole section into one made entirely of brass.

Calculate the transform factor.

\(\mathrm{n}=\frac{E_{s t}}{E_{b r}}\)

Substitute 200 GPa for \(E_{s t}\) and 101 GPa for \(E_{b r}\).

\(\begin{aligned}\mathrm{n}&=\frac{200\ GPa}{101\ GPa}\\ &=1.98\\ &\simeq2\end{aligned}\)
