Assignment 3
Text problems:
3.6. Let the boundary conditions at the top and bottom walls be conditions of smooth contact ( not fixed, as the figure may indicate).
3.10. Add part (d): Check overall equilibrium.
3.13. Do non-dimensional plots: (stresses) x (-ph/2P) versus y/h.
3.14. Addition to problem: Plot the shear stress distribution over a cross section.
Omit the numerical part of the problem, as stated in the text.
In the equations below, I is the moment of inertia of the cross section.
Addition to problem: The stresses of Problems 3.19 and 3.17 pertain to the same body, loading, and boundary conditions.
a) Which of the two solutions if any is correct?
b) Discuss whether the difference between the two solutions is numerically significant, depending on the ratio L/h.
