The beam is made of an elastic plastic material for which \(\sigma_Y=250 \ \mathrm{MPa}\). Determine the residual stress in the beam at its top and bottom after the plastic moment \(\mathbf{M}_p\) is applied and then released.

Question
The bar is made of an aluminum alloy having a stress–strain diagram that can be approximated by the straight line segments shown. Assuming that this diagram is the same for both tension and compression, determine the moment the bar will support if the maximum strain at the top and bottom fibers of the beam is \(\epsilon_{\text{max}} = 0.03\).
Solution
The first step in solving 6.1 problem number 25 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The bar is made of an aluminum alloy having a stress–strain diagram that can be approximated by the straight line segments shown. Assuming that this diagram is the same for both tension and compression, determine the moment the bar will support if the maximum strain at the top and bottom fibers of the beam is \(\epsilon_{\text{max}} = 0.03\).
From the textbook chapter INELASTIC BENDING you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
