Total stress=direct stress+bending stress due to eccentricity at x-x axis And y-y axis.
Here, find the maximum bending stress.

So bending stress (maximum)
= {(p.ex)/z + (p.ey)/z}.......(1no.)

So here,( ex = b/4) ,and (ey=b/4). ( Z=I/y ,)
So,
I= b^4/12 and y= b/2.

So, Z ={(b^4/12)x(2/b)}=(b^3)/6.

Then put the value ...(1no.) eq.
={Px(b/4)}/{(b^3)/6}+{Px(b/4)}/{(b^3)/6}
={pb/4x6/(b^3)}+{pb/4x6/(b^3)}
={3p/(2b^2)}+{3p/(2b^2)}
=2x{3p/(2b^2)}
={3p/(b^2)} answer.

I think it is 4p/a^2.

Here, it is asked combined stress i.e, P/A2 + 2p/a2.

Stress=p/A+-(mx/z+my/z).
= P/a2+3p/a2
=4p/a2.

Combined bending stress = Mx/Z+My/Z.
= (P*a/4)/(a3/6) + (P*a/4)/(a3/6),
= 3P/a2.

Please explain it.

Chhaya said:   8 years ago
It is (p/a^2)+Mxx/Z+Myy/Z.

But it is 4p/a^2.
