Q#3. An aluminium strut 14 ft long has a rectangular cross section 2 in by 3.5 in. A bolt through each end secure the strut in such a way that is acts as hinged column about an axis perpendicular to 3.5 in dimension; and as fixed column about an axis perpendicular to 2 in dimension. Determine the safe central load with a factor of safety of 2 and E= 10300000 psi. Also discuss in detail about the governing column capacity and reasons behind it.

Introduction to Engineering Design

Students are often confused with engineering and design. The term engineering design has two words with different meanings, engineering, and design. The term engineering implies applications of laws and principles of science to design and analyze physical structures and components. In civil engineering, students apply the concept of physics and chemistry to design and build structures and buildings. In engineering disciplines, the term design means determining the dimensions, loads, and associated influences on the component due to the applied loads such as stresses and deformations. The estimation of such parameters is crucial to make the component or structure foolproof.
