Question

12. While designing a component, you have generated the loading condition shown below. You want to make sure your design is able to last for a minimum life span of

10 cycles, but you haven't finalized the length, cross-section, or specific load. Find the allowable load F by considering only normal stresses. After further consideration you determine the following, L=1m, 0 = 45°, b = 3 cm, and h =4 cm. Determine the maximum Load to prevent fatigue failure. n = 1.5, Sut = 90 MPa, Se = 45 MPa.(10 pts)
