1- Problem:

a) A 14 mm diameter steel bar subjected to a tensile load of 9,240 N; calculate the stress.

b) Choose a suitable steel if the required SF is 6.

 

Given:

d = 14 mm

F = 9,240 N

SF = 6

 

Required:

a) σ

b) material (steel)

 

Solution:

a)

b)

Chose steel EN1A

From chart 9:

 

σst = 420 N/mm2

Since:  σ < σall

 

then: steel EN1A is OK (Ans.)
