Question
The box beam is made of an elastic perfectly plastic material for which \(\sigma_Y=250 \ \mathrm{MPa}\). Determine the residual stress in the top and bottom of the beam after the plastic moment \(\mathbf{M}_p\) is applied and then released.
Solution
The first step in solving 6.1 problem number 5 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The box beam is made of an elastic perfectly plastic material for which \(\sigma_Y=250 \ \mathrm{MPa}\). Determine the residual stress in the top and bottom of the beam after the plastic moment \(\mathbf{M}_p\) is applied and then released.
From the textbook chapter INELASTIC BENDING you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
