Question: A copper strip ( Ec = 1 0 5 GPa ) and an aluminum strip ( Ea = 7 5 GPa ) are bonded together

A copper strip (Ec=105 GPa) and an aluminum strip (Ea =75 GPa) are bonded together to form the composite beam shown. Knowing that the beam is bent about a horizontal axis by a couple of moment M =35 N*m, determine the maximum stress in (a) the aluminum strip, (b) the copper strip. (answers a =-56.0 MPa, b =66.4 MPa)
