Question:

The beam is made of a polyester that has the stress-strain curve shown. If the curve can be represented by the equation σ = [20 tan-1 (15ε)] ksi where tan-1 (15ε) is in radians, determine the magnitude of the force P that can be applied to the beam without causing the maximum strain in its fibers at the critical section to exceed εmax = 0.003 in./in.
