The document summarizes a stress analysis problem involving a simply supported beam that is loaded by a force. Students are asked to (1) determine the stresses at different points of the beam cross-section, (2) calculate the factor of safety and maximum load for a given yield strength, (3) explain how increasing the web thickness would affect the beam strength, and (4) conclude by identifying where maximum stress occurs in the cross-section and factors that can increase beam strength.

Problem Statement: Stress analysis is carried out on a simply supported beam given in the figure. The purpose is to locate the position of the maximum stress within the cross-section and how the strength of the beam can be increased. The length of the beam is 2m, and a load P = 1.4 kN acts at the midway of the beam span along the plane of load such that = 1.25 rad.
C B
(a) Determine the stresses at A, B and C.
(b) What is the factor of safety if Y= 270MPa? How much maximum load can be applied if the safety factor were SF= 2.5? (c) Without caring out calculations state (with proper reason) how the strength of the beam changed if the thickness of web is increased. (Hint: Mention whether strengthened or weakened) (d) Conclude the stress analysis describing briefly the following: (i) Where should maximum stress exist in the cross section? (ii) Mention the factors that can help to increase the strength of the given beam.
