SM 406 Engineering Stress Analysis of a Structure:

The rigid structure ABD shown in the figure below is supported at B by a

35-mm-diameter tie rod 1 and at A by a 30-mm-diameter pin used in a
single shear connection. The tie rod is connected at B and C by 24-mm-
diameter pins used in double shear connections. Tie rod 1 has a yield
strength of 250 MPa, and each of the pins has an ultimate shear strength of
330 MPa. A concentrated load of P = 50 kN acts as shown at D.
Determine:
(a) the normal stress in rod 1.
(b) the shearing stress in the pins at A and B.
(c) the factor of safety with respect to yield strength for tie rod 1.
(d) the factor of safety with respect to ultimate strength for the pins at
A and B.
