(c) Find maximum shear stresses and show them on a sketch of a properly oriented element.
(a)

The state of plane stress on an element C.
Answer to Problem 8.5.24P
The state of stress on element C are
Tensile stress
Compressive stress
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The cross-section of the bicycle rack tubing is circular.
The weight of the bicycle = 14 kg is represented as point load applied at B on a plane frame model of the rack.
A force in z direction has also been added Pz= 120 N
Weight density of the steel
Calculation:
From the figure, let us consider horizontal portion of the cycle rack. The weight of the cycle is considered as the point load and this load produces a moment and a direct compressive load in the beam along Y-direction.
Also, a load Pzhas been added in z direction. This load will produce bending moment in the horizontal beam and twisting moment in the vertical portion of the beam.
The cross-sectional area of the beam is given by
The moment in the vertical beam =
The moment in the horizontal beam due to load Pz=
Total moment
The load Pzwill produce twisting moment equal to Mz. This twisting moment will produce the shear stress at the base of rack.
The direct compressive loading =
From the properties of the cross-section, the moment of inertia is
Now, plane stress can be calculated as follows
And maximum compressive stress is
Conclusion: Thus, the state of stress on element C are
Tensile stress
Compressive stress
(b)

The maximum normal stress and the sketch of properly oriented element.
