QUESTION:
Link BD consists of a single bar 1 in. wide and \(\frac{1}{2}\) in. thick. Knowing that each pin has a \(\frac{3}{8}\)-in. diameter, determine the maximum value of the average normal stress in link BD if \((a) \theta=0,(b) \theta=90^{\circ}\).
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 10
In the given problem we have to find the normal stress in member BD for two different cases of angle . We will consider the free body diagram of the entire system and taking moments about point A to calculate the force in member BD and subsequently calculate the stress from the given cross-sectional area.
