Example - Transformed Sections Fig. 1: A y A y

The document describes a composite beam under a 10 kN load with steel, aluminum, and timber components. It provides material properties and beam dimensions. The solution calculates the beam's neutral axis location as 68.4 mm from the bottom. It then determines the beam's second moment of area as 7.19 x 107 mm4. From this, the maximum stress in the timber is calculated as 7.14 N/mm2, occurring at the bottom of the cross-section furthest from the neutral axis.
