Explanation Given information: The eccentric load on the strut is denoted by P. The length ( L ) of the strut is 3 m . The width ( b ) of the cross-section of the strut is 50 mm . The depth ( d ) of the cross-section of the strut is 100 mm . The eccentricity ( e ) of the loading is 150 mm . The ends of the strut are pinned. Calculation: Consider the Young’s modulus ( E ) of the 2014-T6 aluminum alloy is 73.1 × 10 3 N mm 2 . Consider the yield stress ( σ Y ) of the 2014-T6 aluminum alloy is 414 MPa . Calculate the cross-sectional area ( A ) of the rectangular strut using the relation: A = b d (1) Substitute 50 mm for b , 100 mm for d Equation (1): A = 50 × 100 = 5 , 000 mm 2 Calculate the moment of inertia ( I y ) using the relation: I y = 1 12 d b 3 (2) Substitute 50 mm for b , 100 mm for d Equation (2): I y = 1 12 × 100 × 50 3 = 1.0416 × 10 6 mm 4 Calculate the moment of inertia ( I x ) using the relation: I x = 1 12 b d 3 (3) Substitute 50 mm for b , 100 mm for d Equation (3): I x = 1 12 × 50 × 100 3 = 4.166 × 10 6 mm 4 Calculate the value of radius of gyration ( r x ) using a relation: r x = I x A (4) Substitute 4.166 × 10 6 mm 4 for I x and 5 , 000 mm 2 for A in Equation (4). r x = 4.166 × 10 6 5 , 000 = 833.2 = 28.865 mm Consider the buckling of strut about y-y axis: The ends of the strut are pinned, thus the value of effective length factor ( K ) is 1. Calculate the critical load on the strut based on the buckling criteria. Show the expression for Euler’s formula as follows: P cr = π 2 E I ( K L ) 2 (5) Here, E is the Young’s modulus, I is the moment of inertia, K is the effective length factor, L is the length of the member. Substitute 73.1 × 10 3 N mm 2 for E , 1.0416 × 10 6 mm 4 for I , 3 m for L and 1 for K in Equation (5). P cr = π 2 ( 73.1 × 10 3 ) ( 1.0416 × 10 6 ) ( 1 × 3 m × 1 , 000 mm 1 m ) 2 = 751.481 × 10 9 9 × 10 6 = 83.497 × 10 3 N × 1 kN 1000 N = 83.5 kN Thus, the critical load based on the buckling about y-y axis is 83.5 kN _ . Check the validity of using Euler’s formula: Euler’s formula is valid only when the critical stress ( σ cr ) is less than the yield stress ( σ Y )

Students have asked these similar questions

A gearbox has permanent shaft positions defined by the bearing mounting positions, but the gear ratio can be changed by changing the number of teeth in the pinion and gear. To achieve similar power transmission ability for different gear ratios, a manufacturer chooses to have the same module for two different gearboxes. One of the gaerboxes has a pinion with 22 teeth, a gear with 68 teeth, and a center distance of 225mm. How large is the gear module and which gear ratios are possible for a pinion with 22 or more teeth using the same module?

A gear train has a 50.3 mm circular pitch and a 25 degree pressure angle and meshes with a pinion having 12 teeth Design this gear train to minimize its volume and the total number of teeth. Obtain the pitch diameters the number of teeth the speed ratio the center distance and the module of this gear train. The gearbox housing has a diameter of 620mm
