Please help with questions 2, 3, 4.
We consider a thin beam subjected to pure bending as illustrated above with h = 2 cm, I = 4 cm.
1. Define the boundary conditions on the four edges of the beam.
2. Considering the Airy function Ay = cy + c + cy + y + cgy + c^3 + c, determine the expression of the stress tensor as a function of x, y, CCCC4, CsCs, and Cas, assuming the problem is in plane-stress, if the gravitational forces are not neglected and that the density of the beam is -4 kg/m^2.
3. Using the boundary condition, determine the expression of the stress tensor if the gravitational forces are neglected.
4. Since the yield stress of the material is 2 MPa, what is the max of shear T that can be applied to the structure?
