Question 4TRANSCRIPT
Problem 1-54
The two members used in the construction of an aircraft fuselage are joined together using a 30°fish-mouth weld. Determine the average normal and average shear stress on the plane of each weld.Assume each inclined plane supports a horizontal force of 2 kN.
Given:
P 4.0kN:=
b 37.5mm:= hhalf 25m:=
θ 30deg:=
Solution:
Equations of Equilibrium:
+ ΣFx=0; V− 0.5P cos θ( )⋅+ 0=
V 0.5P cos θ( )⋅:= V 1.732 kN=
+ ΣFy=0; N 0.5P sin θ( )⋅− 0=
N 0.5P sin θ( )⋅:= N 1 kN=
