Figure below shows a hand crank with static vertical load applied to the handle. Using the Mohr circle approach to determine the principal stresses and absolute maximum shear stresses at the root of 25 mm diameter rod (ignore curved beam stress concentration effects)
(a) at the top surface location, a
(b) at the 3 o'clock surface location, b
To compare the results of hand calculation, you are required to conduct a FEA using NX (see instruction video posted on Canvas). The CAD model is provided. You are required to present the FEA result (cut and paste) at the point a and b with the maximum and minimum principal stresses, 1 and 3.
Use material mechanical properties: E=210GPa and v=0.28
