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:
We are asked to find the moment MMM for which yielding first occurs. To do this, we will use
the bending stress formula:
Where:
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:
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:
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:
We want the distance where the stress equals the yield strength σy\sigma_yσy, so:
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):
We are given that the elastic core thickness is 4 mm4 \, \text{mm}4mm, so we can substitute that
in and solve for MMM.
