Aluminum Beam Bending Stress & Curvature Solution

________________________________________________________________________
PROBLEM (7.11) An aluminum beam with an hollow circular cross section is acted upon by
a bending moment M about the z axis (Fig.P7.11). Calculate:
(a) The normal stress at point A.
(b) The normal stress at point B.
(c) The radius of curvature 1
ρ
of the beam of a transverse cross section.
Given: M = 400 N⋅m, D = 50 mm, d = 30 mm, E = 70 GPa,
