Great! Thanks rb1957
I've gone through the equations for the interaction curve Margins and the principal stress Margins and it seems that the Interaction curve Approach are slightly more conservative than the Principal Stress approach (if my arithmetic is correct?) however they do align fairly...
Thanks rb1957
Following up...
2. I understand the conservatism of combining these loads at the extreme fibers and I've removed it from the report as per your suggestion. All that being said, when there is a member subjected to bending and torsion, I'm still not sure on whether to use the...
Thanks for the quick response!
1. what do you mean by "its principle"? Should I not be using the interaction curves (They are defined in most literature as accurate)?
2. The section is an I-beam. I'm evaluating my Margins at the lower edge of the upper flange where the normal stress is ALMOST...
Hello All,
I'm working on a beam bending analysis and I have simultaneous bending and shear throughout the cross-section. I've determined the separate margins of Safety for Tension (in the upper flange), crippling/buckling (in the lower flange), and shear at the center. I've also determined the...
