Question:

The clevis pin shown in the figure is 12 mm in diameter and has the dimensions a = 12 mm and b = 18 mm. The pin is machined from AISI 1018 hot-rolled steel (Table A€“20) and is to be loaded to no more than 4.4 kN. Determine whether or not the assumed loading of figure c yields a factor of safety any different from that of figure d. Use the maximum-shear-stress theory

a +b
