Calculate the maximum combined stress at section AA Select t

Calculate the maximum combined stress at section A-A. Select the appropriate method of combining these stresses, based on the fact that this part is made of a fairly brittle cast iron material.

Solution

Given condition states the material as brittle, therefore the maximum principal stress is the combined stress.

Cross sectional area: r² = 12.56

Max Strees = 39.80 lb/in2
