Answer:
the maximum bending stress in the strap is 3.02 ksi
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
steel strap thickness = 0.125 in
width = 2 in
circular arc radius = 600 in
we know that, standard value of modulus of elasticity of L2 steel is; E = 29 × 10³ ksi;
Now, using simple theory of bending
1/p = M/EI
solve for M
Mp = EI
M = EI / p ----- let this be equation 1
The maximum bending stress in the strap is;
σ = Mc / I -------let this be equation 2
substitute equation 1 into 2
σ = ( EI / p)c / I
σ = ( c/p )E
so we substitute in our values
σ = ( (0.125/2) / 600 )29 × 10³
σ = 0.00010416666 × 29 × 10³
σ = 3.02 ksi
Therefore, the maximum bending stress in the strap is 3.02 ksi
