Question

The picture shows a simplified schematic of a hoist system designed to move heavy things around. The design is composed of 5 1020-steel tubes, with rectangular cross-sections, labeled from A

through E. Notice how the joints are also labeled, but from 1 through 9. Consider that a regular operational regime consists of moving a 200 kg element around while going over bumps and ramps which can introduce cyclic loads of up to 2g's of vertical acceleration. Assume that in a normal day of operations the hoist experiences 300 of such loading cycles. Here is what we know about this hoist design: 9 Simplified Model 0-2g E Z 500mm 6 8 A B 300mm 300mm D 800mm 1,700mm Junction 3 100mm Ho 1020 Steel Bo T Figure 1: Hoist System Side view of relevant member F 500mm Junction 3 1,700mm 1. 1020 rectangular thin-walled steel construction; 2.

I) The hoist service life in years (construct a S-N chart for the problem). Use the following charts to estimate the necessary coefficients for your calculations: • Stress concentration factor: Assume junction No. 3 can be approximated as a cross- section reduction and a fillet joint. For this case, use H/h = 1.5 and r/h = 0.05. • Notch sensitivity factor (q) for bending: Use the appropriate bending curves.
