(30 points) The figure shows a thin beam carrying a uniformly distributed transverse loading on its top surface. The elasticity solution for this beam, in absence of body forces, gives the stress distribution as follows:
=3w4c(l2c2-25)y-A(x2y-23y3)
yy=-w2+By+Dy3
(a) Using and yy derive an expression for stress function .
(b) Determine xy,
(c) Determine the constants A,B and D(Hint: use equilibrium equations and boundary conditions for lower edge).
( 3 0 points ) The figure shows a thin beam
