TASK 5
Stress Concentrations for Non uniform Cross-section

■ For the given stepped beam with a rounded fillet (E = 210 GPa, 𝜐 = 0.3, the element
size is 2 mm and the beam thickness is 10 mm), calculate the maximum value and
location/s of the
– Deflection at the loading point
– Maximum absolute deflection and its location
– XY component of shear stress (max. value and its location) in the beam
– Stress intensity(maximum value) and where it concentrates
– X component of stress (max. value and its location) in the beam
■ Also calculate the Y-displacement of all nodes at the bottom edge of the beam and plot
a graph with node location along beam length on x-axis and Y-displacement on y-axis.
