1. From Figure 13.22(b), we can compute the area moment of inertia about y′ and z′ axes as

[latex] I_{y^{\prime} y^{\prime}}=\iint_A z^{\prime 2} d A=\int_0^{b} \int_0^{(h/b)y^{\prime}} z^{\prime 2} d y^{\prime} d z^{\prime} [/latex]

[latex] =\int_0^b\left\lgroup \int_0^{(h / b) y^{\prime}} z^{\prime 2} d z^{\prime} ight group d y^{\prime}=\frac{1}{3} \int_0^b\left\lgroup \frac{h}{b} ight group^3 y^{\prime 3} d y [/latex]

[latex] =\frac{1}{12}\left\lgroup \frac{h}{b} ight group^3\left[y^{\prime 4} ight]_0^b=\frac{1}{12} b h^3 [/latex]

Therefore,

[latex] \bar{I}_{y y}=I_{y^{\prime} y^{\prime}}-A\left\lgroup \frac{h}{3} ight group^2=\frac{1}{12} b h^3-\frac{1}{12} b h\left\lgroup \frac{h}{3} ight group^2 [/latex]

[latex] =\frac{1}{12} b h^3-\frac{1}{18} b h^3=\frac{b h^3}{36} [/latex]

or [latex] \bar{I}_{y y}=\frac{b h^3}{36} [/latex] (1)

Similarly,

[latex] I_{z^{\prime} z^{\prime}}=\iint_A y^{\prime 2} d A [/latex]

[latex] =\int_0^b \int_{(b / z) z^{\prime}}^b y^{\prime 2} d y^{\prime} d z^{\prime} [/latex]

[latex] =\frac{1}{3} \int_0^h\left\lgroup b^3-\frac{b^3}{h^3} z^{\prime 3} ight group d z^{\prime} [/latex]

[latex] =\frac{1}{3}\left\lgroup b^3 z^{\prime}-\frac{b^3}{4 h^3} z^{\prime 4} ight group_0^h=\frac{1}{3}\left\lgroup b^3 h-\frac{b^3 h}{4} ight group [/latex]

[latex] =\frac{b^3 b}{4} [/latex]

Therefore,

[latex] \bar{I}_{z z}=I_{z^{\prime} z^{\prime}}-A\left\lgroup\frac{2 b}{3} ight group^2=\frac{b^3 h}{4}-\frac{1}{2} b h\left\lgroup\frac{2 b}{3} ight group^2 [/latex]

[latex] =b^3 h\left\lgroup \frac{1}{4}-\frac{2}{9} ight group =\frac{b^3 h}{36} [/latex]

or [latex] \bar{I}_{z z}=\frac{b^3 h}{36} [/latex] (2)

Finally,

[latex] I_{y^{\prime} z^{\prime}}=\iint_A y^{\prime} z^{\prime} d A [/latex]

[latex] =\int_0^{b} \int_0^{(h / b) y^{\prime}} y^{\prime} z^{\prime} d y^{\prime} d z^{\prime}=\int_0^{b} \int_0^{(h / b) y^{\prime}} y^{\prime} z^{\prime} d z^{\prime} d y^{\prime} [/latex]

[latex] =\int_0^b y^{\prime}\left[\int_0^{(h / b) y^{\prime}} z^{\prime} d z^{\prime} ight] d y^{\prime} [/latex]

[latex] =\frac{1}{2}\left\lgroup \frac{h}{b} ight group^2 \int_0^b y^{\prime 3} d y^{\prime}=\frac{1}{8}\left\lgroup \frac{h}{b} ight group^2 b^4=\frac{1}{8} b^2 h^2 [/latex]

Therefore,

[latex] \bar{I}_{y z}=I_{y^{\prime} z^{\prime}}-A\left\lgroup \frac{h}{3} ight group\left\lgroup \frac{2 b}{3} ight group=\frac{1}{8} b^2 h^2-\frac{1}{2} b h\left\lgroup \frac{2 b h}{9} ight group [/latex]

[latex] =b^2 h^2\left\lgroup \frac{1}{8}-\frac{1}{9} ight group=\frac{b^2 h^2}{72} [/latex]

or [latex] \bar{I}_{y z}=\frac{b^2 h^2}{72} [/latex] (3)

2. Hence, from detailed derivation of [latex] \bar{I}_{y y}, \bar{I}_{z z} ext { and } \bar{I}_{y z} [/latex] from Eqs. (1)–(3) in Step 1, we obtain for our section with b = h = 60 mm as

[latex] \bar{I}_{y y}=\frac{(60)^4}{36}=\bar{I}_{z z} \Rightarrow \bar{I}_{y y}=\bar{I}_{z z}=0.36\left(10^6 ight) mm ^4 [/latex]

and [latex] \bar{I}_{y z}=\frac{(60)^4}{72} \Rightarrow \bar{I}_{y z}=0.18\left(10^6 ight) mm ^4 [/latex]

From the expression of generalised flexure stress from Eq. (13.21), we obtain with [latex] M_y=0 [/latex].

[latex] \sigma_{x x}=\left\lgroup \frac{z \bar{I}_{z z}-y \bar{I}_{y z}}{\bar{I}_{y y} \bar{I}_{z z}-\bar{I}_{y z}^2} ight group M_y+\left\lgroup \frac{z \bar{I}_{y z}-y \bar{I}_{y y}}{\bar{I}_{y y} \bar{I}_{z z}-\bar{I}_{y z}^2} ight group M_z [/latex] (13.21)

[latex] \sigma_{x x}=\frac{1}{\left(\bar{I}_{y y} \bar{I}_{z z}-\bar{I}_{y z}^2 ight)^2}\left[z \bar{I}_{y z}-y \bar{I}_{y y} ight] M_y [/latex]

[latex] \left.=\frac{(0.18 z-0.36 y) M_{ O }}{0.0972}\left(10^{-6} ight) MPa \quad ext { (if } M_{ O } ext { is in } N mm ight) [/latex]

For NA orientation with respect to z-axis, we get

[latex] an \phi=\frac{y}{z} \quad\left( ext { by putting } \sigma_{x x}=0 ight) [/latex]

[latex] ext { So, } an \phi=0.18 / 0.36 \Rightarrow \phi=26.6^{\circ} [/latex]. The position of NA is shown in Figure 13.23.

From the geometry of the section, it is obvious that NA passes through the point P and bisects the side MN. Thus, points M and N on the beam section are equidistant points of the section from NA.
Considering magnitude of stress at point M, we obtain

[latex] \left|\sigma_{ M } ight|=\left|\sigma_{ N } ight|=\left|\frac{(0.18)(-20)-(0.36)(20)}{0.0972} ight|\left(10^{-6} ight) M_{ O }=111.11 imes 10^{-6} M_{ O } [/latex]

From the given condition, we obtain

[latex] \left|\sigma_{ M } ight| \leq 100 MPa [/latex]

Therefore,

[latex] 111.11\left(10^{-6} ight) M_{ O }=100 \Rightarrow M_{ O }=900 Nm [/latex]

So [latex] M_{\max } [/latex] for the section is 900 N m.
