Question: 2 0 kN load is applied as shown to the horizontal member ABC . Member ABC has a 1 0 m m 5 0 m

20 kN load is applied as shown to the horizontal member ABC . Member ABC has a 10mm50mm uniform rectangular cross-section and is supported by four vertical links, each of 8mm36mm uniform rectangular cross-section. Each of the four pins at A,B,C and D has the same diameter d.
A. Solve this problem analytically.
B. Write a Excel formulation to calculate for values of d from 10 to 30 mm , using 1 mm increments,
(1) maximum value of the avarage normal stress in the links connecting to pins B and D,
(2) the average normal stress in the links connecting to pins C and E ,
(3) the average shearing stress in pin B
(4) the average shearing stress in pin C
(5) the average bearing stress at B in member ABC
(6) the average bearing stress at C in member ABC
C. Check your formulation by comparing the values obtained for d=16mm
D. Use this formulation to find the permissible values of the diameter d of the pins.
allow,normal=150MPa
allow,shear=90MPa
allow,bearing=230MPa
E. Solve part D , assuming that the thickness of member ABC has been reduced from 10 to 8 mm .
