In my case the load is suspected to be an impact. If I understand the physics well I'd say that the friction cannot be neglected. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I am trying to calculate the stresses developed in a lug which is CLAMPED, on one side, to another bar (not the classic fork-knife way). My problem is that without introducing the clamping into the calculation I am being too conservative, and the stresses I calculate due to the moments (since it...
