This document provides solutions to three problems from a quiz on mechanics of materials. Problem 1 asks the student to determine the maximum moment a beam can support given its cross-sectional dimensions and a maximum flexural stress of 10 MPa. Problem 2 asks the student to determine the maximum flexural stress and whether it is tension or compression on a beam given the stress at one point. Problem 3 asks the student to sketch shear force and bending moment diagrams for a beam and determine the maximum shear force, maximum bending moment, and flexural stresses at two points given a bending moment of 7300 N-m.

MOOC – “Mechanics of Materials III”

Section Two Quiz Solution

Problem 1) A rectangular beam undergoing pure bending has a cross section with
100mm width and 300mm height as shown below. At a certain section of the beam, the
maximum flexural stress is 10 MPa. The entire beam remains in the linear elastic region
and is homogeneous.
Determine the maximum moment that the beam can support at that section.
Problem 2) A beam undergoing pure bending has a cross section as shown below. The
flexural stress at point A is 15 MPa (T). The entire beam remains in the linear elastic
region and is homogeneous. Determine the maximum flexural stress on this section of
the beam and whether it is in tension or compression.
Problem 3) Sketch the Shear Force and Bending Moment diagrams for the beam below
to determine the magnitude of the maximum shear force and the magnitude of the
maximum bending moment and where they occur along the beam.
A hollow rectangular beam undergoing pure bending has a cross section as shown below.
The entire beam remains in the linear elastic region and is homogeneous. At this cross
section, the beam experiences a bending moment of 7300 N-m that causes compression at
the top of the beam and tension at the bottom of the beam.
Determine the flexural stress of the beam at points A and B.
