To solve this problem, we will follow a systematic approach to calculate the moment MMM that

results in yielding and also when the elastic core has a thickness of 4 mm. Here’s a step-by-step
breakdown of the process.

1. Given Data:

 Yield strength of steel: σy=300 MPa\sigma_y = 300 \, \text{MPa}σy=300MPa


 The bar is subjected to a moment MMM parallel to the xxx-axis.
 The elastic core thickness is 4 mm4 \, \text{mm}4mm for part (b).

(a) Moment for Yielding First Occurs

We are asked to find the moment MMM for which yielding first occurs. To do this, we will use
the bending stress formula:

σ=M⋅cI\sigma = \frac{M \cdot c}{I}σ=IM⋅c

Where:

 MMM is the bending moment,


 ccc is the distance from the neutral axis to the outermost fiber (this will depend on the
geometry of the bar),
 III is the moment of inertia of the cross-section of the bar.

Since we are not given the geometry explicitly, let's assume a rectangular cross-section for
simplicity, with a height hhh and width bbb. The moment of inertia for a rectangular section is:

I=bh312I = \frac{b h^3}{12}I=12bh3

The distance from the neutral axis to the outermost fiber ccc is half of the height:

c=h2c = \frac{h}{2}c=2h

Now, we solve for the moment MMM when the stress reaches the yield strength σy\sigma_yσy:

σy=M⋅h2bh312\sigma_y = \frac{M \cdot \frac{h}{2}}{\frac{b h^3}{12}}σy=12bh3M⋅2h

Simplifying this equation:

σy=6Mbh2\sigma_y = \frac{6 M}{b h^2}σy=bh26M

Solving for MMM:

M=σybh26M = \frac{\sigma_y b h^2}{6}M=6σybh2

(b) Moment for Elastic Core Thickness of 4 mm


The elastic core is the region in the cross-section where the material behaves elastically (stress is
below the yield strength). We are given that the elastic core thickness is 4 mm.

The elastic core thickness is determined by the region within the bar where the stress is less than
the yield strength. For this part, we assume a simple distribution of stress and set the outer
regions beyond the core where the stress exceeds the yield strength.

For a rectangular section, the stress varies linearly with distance from the neutral axis. The
region within the elastic core has a stress less than σy\sigma_yσy, and we can calculate the
thickness of this region based on the relationship between stress and distance from the neutral
axis.

The formula for stress at a distance yyy from the neutral axis is:

σ(y)=MyI\sigma(y) = \frac{M y}{I}σ(y)=IMy

We want the distance where the stress equals the yield strength σy\sigma_yσy, so:

σy=M⋅yI\sigma_y = \frac{M \cdot y}{I}σy=IM⋅y

For this elastic core thickness, we solve for yyy (the distance from the neutral axis to the point
where the stress equals σy\sigma_yσy):

y=σyIMy = \frac{\sigma_y I}{M}y=MσyI

The thickness of the elastic core is twice this distance:

Elastic Core Thickness=2y=2σyIM\text{Elastic Core Thickness} = 2y = \frac{2 \sigma_y


I}{M}Elastic Core Thickness=2y=M2σyI

We are given that the elastic core thickness is 4 mm4 \, \text{mm}4mm, so we can substitute that
in and solve for MMM.
