need reference book for beam stress concentration

[PSlem]

What is a good reference to calculate stress concentration on a beam made up of two different symmetric sections?

? a few details would help understand what you're asking about ...

the stress concentration at the transition from one section to another ?

Petersen (check Amazon) is always a good source for SCFs.

I've got a pipe beam pinned at one end where it is sleeved with a smaller pipe which is exerting a transverse load at its tip. The other end is fixed. I'm interested in the pipe just past the sleeve.

Is it just a sleeve, or is there any weld ?

Well, you should calculate the moment at the sleeve location, and check both pipe sections (the big and the small) for that moment.

That would be conservative, since at the location where both pipes work together the combined section is more resistant than any single one on the sides of the sleeve.

Then you should also look at the shear force.

When you got moments and shears, you calculate stresses and then you compare them to allowable stresses.

Finally you calculate deflections and compare them to allowable deflections.
