Cornerstone Project

Teams are to choose an application which normally carries more than one $(1)$ type of loading. Cases can be taken from Hibbeler or any other textbooks. Reproduce the image and cite the source, label the parts and also dimensional measurements, if possible. Otherwise, a realistic assumption has to be made on the material of the product and its properties, and all dimensions required for further analysis.

Identify critical points and determine the stress elements.

Apply stress transformation theory to solve for the principle stresses at the most critical point$($s$)$ identified. Use either the numerical method or graphical method $($Mohr$\text{'}$s circle$).$ Show the principal stress element$($s$).$

Repeat item $2$ by using Matlab and show the changes of stress condition on the faces of the element as it is rotated.

Use Failure Theories to determine safety of the product and interpret the result by providing a conclusion.

Items $1$ and $2$ are to be submitted at the end of week $12.$ Items $3$ and $4$ are to be submitted at the end of week $15.$
