Question 2(10 marks)
A composite beam 225 mm wide 300mm deep 4m long is made by bolting two 100-mm- wide x 300-mm-deep timber planks to the sides of a 25300-mm structural aluminium plate. The moduli of elasticity for the timber and aluminium are 8 GPa and 73 GPa , respectively.
Determine the maximum tensile flexural stress in each of the materials if the composite beam is simply supported and carries a concentrated load 30 kN in the centre of the beam. Assume that the bolt merely holds the plates together (do not transform)
