Given: σy = 310 MPa, σu = 480 MPa, factor of safety = 3
Find: largest couple (M) which may be applied to the beam when it is bent about the z axis.
Solution:
For this problem, we have a beam in pure bending where the neutral axis passes through the centroid of the cross section, so we can use the following formula:
