Question
A square bar used as a mechanical link in an automated packaging machine is subjected to a tensile force F. The force, dimensions and material
A square bar used as a mechanical link in an automated packaging machine is subjected to a tensile force F.
The force, dimensions and material are listed below. All answers are in SAE units.
Force (F) = 125,500 lbf
Length (L) = 13.12 ft
Side (b) = 1.25 inch
Material = 316L Austenitic Stainless Steel
Temper = Half Hard
Determine the beam stress when it is loaded in tension with force F. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Provide your answer in lbf/in2.
Determine the Factor of Safety (FOS) of the determined stress compared to yield strength. Round your answer to the nearest one decimal place.
