Chapter 4, Problem 4.1

(choose chapter or problem)

The rectangular bar with oval opening in Figure P4.1 is loaded in compression through two hardened steel balls. Estimate the maximum compressive stress in each of the sections A to E. Assume that an element of the bar once deformed to the yield point will continue to deform with no increase in stress; i.e., the material follows an idealized stress–strain curve. The bar is one in. thick and machined from steel with \(S_y = 50 \ \mathrm{ksi}\), and the balls are hardened steel.
