Combined Stresses
Most often, a structural member is subjected to different types of stresses that acts simultaneously. Such stresses are axial, shear, flexure, and torsion. Superposition method is used to determine the combined effect of two or more stresses acting over the cross-section of the member.
Axial stress
$$\sigma = \pm\dfrac{P}{A}$$
Shear stress
$$\tau = \dfrac{VQ}{Ib}$$
Flexural stress
$$\sigma_f = \dfrac{Mc}{I}$$
Torsional stress
$$\tau = \dfrac{T\rho}{J}$$

Bernoulli's differential equation
Hello ,please someone should help with out with these Diffrential equations
a. xdy + ydx = x^3 y^6 dx
b. cosysin2xdx +(cos^2y - cos^x)dy = 0

Grabber - statics example
Hello,
We should get the length x , when the grabber can just hold the box.

I made two moment equations:


Then I put them together into one equation: 
And from that equation I found out x:

Problem 885 | Continuous Beam by Moment Distribution Method
Problem 885
Solve for the support moments in Problem 825 if the ends are perfectly fixed instead of simply supported.
Differential equation. how to solve?
1. (x^2 + 2xy - 4y^2) dx - ( x^2 - 8xy - 4 y^2)dy=0
2. y(9x-2y)dx-x(6x-y)dy=0; when: x=1; y=1/2
