This composite beam may be a bit more typical but is harder to analyze because it is not
symmetric (hence we have to compute in longhand the centroid and I values). We have a plate
of material 1(E=30,000 ksi) that is 4 x 0.5 inches bonded to the upper surface of a 4 x 4 block of
material 2(E=10,000 ksi). The moment is +80 kip-inches. Find the maximum bending stress in
both materials (value and sign, note the moment is positive). Answers: centroid is 2.6136 inches
up from bottom, I=43.55 in4
,\sigma 1=10.4 ksi (C),\sigma 2=4.801 ksi (T) in 2
