Question:

Link 3, shown schematically in the figure, acts as a brace to support the 270-lbf load. For buckling in the plane of the figure, the link may be regarded as pinned at both ends. For out-of-plane buckling, the ends are fixed. Select a suitable material and a method of manufacture, such as forging, casting, stamping, or machining, for casual applications of the brace in oil-field machinery. Specify the dimensions of the cross section as well as the ends so as to obtain a strong, safe, well-made, and economical brace.
B F = 270 lbf 3 ft 60 A
