Locating Stresses Developing in a Beam

by Jeremy Brown

 

Submitted : Spring 2009


We calculate the stresses developed within the beam, determining where the beam will distort the most. This information is then used to determine the type of material that needs to be used and how thick it must be to sustain the loads applied without failing.
