EXPLANATION OF MRCUANTCAL PROPERTIES TABLES
EXEIAUTION OF MECHANICAL PROPBRTTES TABLES
‘The general allowable strongth properties of various motels are given in
the tables at the end of each chapter. In genoral, these propertice
correspond to the specification values and are the minimun which will be
accepted under the given specification. Conversely, they represent the
saximm values which aro acceptable for strongth caloulationss te
Gonnsetion with thess tables the following notes apply to the various it
‘the nunbers below corresponding to the numbers on the tables:
(2) Fey - Utinate tensile stress. (Fron tests of standard specimens).
(2) Fey = Tensile otross at which the permanent strain equals 0.002.
(Prom tests of standard specimens) «
(8) Pep - Tensile strass at which the permanent strain oquals 0.0001.
(Fron tosts af standard specimens)
(4)
Average ratio of stress to strain for stross below
Proportions) limit.
(5) Blongation - This factor is @ measure of the ductility of the
material and.is based on a tension test.
(8; Fy - Vatinnte (block) compressive stress. (Obtained fron flat
ond compression testa of apecinens having an lf p of
approzinately 12).
(7) Fyy ~ Same as (5), but obte:

(8) Fop - Sane as (2), but obtained from a compression test.
(9) Fo - Colum yield stress. Upper limit of the allowble colum:
stress for primary failure. (See Sec. 14523)
(10) B, = Sane as (4), out obtained fron a compression test.
~ Ultimate stress in pure shear. This velus represents the
average skoaring stress over the cross section and applies
$0 cases in which an actual shear failure takes pla:
(Such-as the shoar failure of rivets or bolts) +
(22) Fy, - uoiutus of rupture in torsion. This value applies only to
st
solid cyLiniricel specinans having a lengeh to dlanstes
ratio of appracizately 19.
(28) Fep - Proportional Limit in torsion. This represents tho shearing
stress at which the permanent strain equals 0.0001, as
obtained from torsion tests.
(4) G = Modulus of rigidity in shear. This corresponds to the velue
E for tensile strosces. Tt will apply in calculating the
shear deflection of webs, provided that no wrinkling occurs.
