Q2: A composite beam is made of two brass [E =100 GPa] plates bonded to an aluminum [E =75 GPa] bar, as shown in Figure below. The beam is subjected to a bending moment of 1200 N-m acting about the z axis. Determine: (a)the maximum bending stresses in the brass plates and the aluminum bar. (b) the stress in the brass at the joints where the two materials are bonded together.
