PROBLEM (*7.156) A beam of the cross section shown in Fig. P7.150 is made of an elastoplastic
material for which E = 200 GPa and y
= 250 MPa. Calculate the bending moment that produces a
bending strain of - 1250
on the lower face of the flange.
*SOLUTION
Since 69
1250 10 (200 10 ) 250
Pa
−
××= , lower face of the flange yields.
