Question 39565

Steel structure

The two-bay portal frame shown can be subjected to either of the following load systems:
OA horizontal load of 2W at B and a vertical load of 3W at the centre of span CD
(b) A horizontal load of 2W at B and a vertical load of 3W at the centre of spanВС.
If the plastic moment of the beams is 1.5 Mp and that of the columns M, calculate the minimum value of W which would cause collapse of the structure.Sketch the bending moment diagram of the structure at collapse indicating significant values.

Question 36662

Steel structure

.The shaft shown in the figure is machined from AISI 1040 CD steel. The shaft rotates at 1600rpm and is supported in rolling bearings at A and B. The applied forces are F1 = 2500 Ibf andF2 = 1000 lbf. Determine the minimum fatigue factor of safety based on achieving infinite life.If infinite life is not predicted, estimate the number of cycles to failure. Also check for yielding.
