Problem Statement A cable is made of strands of material A and strands of material B. The original cross-sectional area of the strands of material A is 0.9 in. The original cross-sectional area of the strands of material B is 1 in. The materials have the following properties: Material A: KA= 6105 psi, n= 0.5, EA= 2.8 107 psi, YA= 5.4 10 psi Material B: KB= 4.6 105 psi, n= 0.5, EB= 1 107 psi, YB= 8.4 104 psi What is the maximum load that the cable can carry without any plastic deformation (that is, what is the design load)? What is the maximum load overall that the cable can carry (that is, what is the ultimate load)? Partial Answer The maximum load that strand A can carry is 2.32.105 lb.
