I think x is any distance along the beam where strain can occur under a considerable amount of stress. hence, the modulus of elasticity is applicable here. Also, L/2 is where ultimate failure is likely to occur and hence it is where the plastic hinge is located, hence, the plastic modulus is applicable here and that is the idea of having the ratio as 0.5L/X=1.5.
Therefore X=0.33333333L=L/3.
Therefore X=0.33333333L=L/3.

Length of plastic hinge = Distance between Mp and My.
You can use a formula too = L (1-(1/shape factor)).
Shape factor for rectangular = 1.5.
Plastic length = L/3.
You can use a formula too = L (1-(1/shape factor)).
Shape factor for rectangular = 1.5.
Plastic length = L/3.

S.F = Plastic Moment/Elastic moment.
1.5(for rect. section) = L/2/x (plastic hinge at (L/2).
1.5 = L/2x.
x = L/1.5X2.
x = L/3.
1.5(for rect. section) = L/2/x (plastic hinge at (L/2).
1.5 = L/2x.
x = L/1.5X2.
x = L/3.

Lp/L =(1-1/Ks) where Ks is shape factor. (For centrally concentrated load).
Lp/L = √(1-1/Ks) (for udl).
Lp/L = √(1-1/Ks) (for udl).

Can we call the ratio between plastic moment to elastic moment as the ELASTOPLASTIC zone?

Shape factor = 1.5.
Plastic moment/elastic moment = 1.5.
1.5 = L/(2x).
x = L/3.
Plastic moment/elastic moment = 1.5.
1.5 = L/(2x).
x = L/3.

It is 1.5 = Mp/Me.
1.5 = (L/2)/X.
As plastic hinge will form at L/2.
1.5 = (L/2)/X.
As plastic hinge will form at L/2.

I have a problem in that why we consider the elastic moment as 2x?

X is the distance from one end to plastic hinge.

For I-section - L/8.
Rectangular section - L/3.
Rectangular section - L/3.
