    22. Design Project ‘The purpose of this project is twofold (1) to provide a basis forthe appli- cation of soid-design principles usin finite clement methods and (2)to foster competitive. ness among students. Each student is to design and construct a structural model from a $66 in sheet of plexiglas material that adheres othe specifications and rules gven later inthis problem and thats capable of competing in three areas: (1) meximum failure load per ‘model weight, (2) predication of failure load using ANSYS, and (3) workmanship. A sketch ofa possible models shown inthe accompanying figure. Bach end ofthe model will have a diameter hole (eye) of d > 1/2" drilled through it perpendicular to the axis of loading, for which pins ean be inserted and the model loaded in tension. The dimension a must also be setsuch thate > 1/.The distance between the eyes willbe € > 2”. The maximum thickness ‘of the member inthe region of the eye willbe < 3,8".This requirement willensure thatthe ‘model fits into the loading attachment. A dimension of b < 1" trom the center ofthe eyes 0 the outer edge in the direction of loading must be maintained so thatthe loading attachment can be utilized. The maximum width is limited to w < 6*, and the maximum height i limit edtoh < 6" Any configuration may be used. Two sheets of} X 6x 6in plexiglas wil be pro- vided, You can use one sheet to experiment and one sheet for your final design. Write a brief report discussing the evolution of your final design ' L ¥ Hotes paate to and at an angle 0 90" tothe axis of loading 4 Section A-A 15. Design Problem Refecting to one of the design problems in Chapter 8 (Problem 22), each stu- dent is to design and construct a structural modet from a }" x 6" x 6" sheet of plexiglas ma- terial that adheres to the specifications and rules given in Problem 22. Additionally, for this project, the model may have any cross-sectional shape. Examples of some common sections are shown in the accompanying figure, 2 Holes paraitel to land at an angle of 0° ‘othe aus of loading 23, Design Project Size the members of the bridge shown in the accompanying figure for a cease in which traffic is backed up with # total of four trucks equally spaced on the bridge. A typical truck has a payload weight of 64,000 Ib and a cab weight of 8000 Ib.As a starting point, ‘you may use one cross seciion for all beam elements. You may also assume one cross section {or all russ members The roadbed weighs 1500 Ib/ft and is supported by T-beams Use stan-
