However, the maximum stress due to the combined bending and direct shear
stresses may be maximum at the point (76, 32.9) that is just to the left of the applied

each having a diameter of 8 mm. The lengths of B E and D F are 50 and 62 mm, respectively.
The beam has a second area moment of 20.8 109 m4. Prior to loading, the nuts are just in
contact with the horizontal beam. A force of 2 kN is then applied at point A. Using procedure 2

The rationale can be expressed as follows. The worst-case scenario is that of an
idealized nonstrain-strengthening material shown in Fig. 56. The stress-strain curve
rises linearly to the yield strength Sy , then proceeds at constant stress, which is equal to
Sy . Consider a lleted rectangular bar as depicted in Fig. A155, where the crosssection area of the small shank is 1 in2. If the material is ductile, with a yield point of
280 MPa, and the theoretical stress-concentration factor (SCF) K t is 2,
