For P = 100 kN, determine the minimum plate thickness t

Problem 2.98

For P = 100 kN, determine the minimum plate thickness t required if the allowable stress is 125 MPa.

                                                              Step by Step Solution

Step 1 of 6

We will calculate the required thickness based on stress at the hole and then at the fillet. The larger of the above two values will be considered as the required thickness.

Thickness based on Hole strength

Radius of hole.
