Calculation of neutral axis

[(A1*l1) + (A2*l2) + (A3*l3)] / [A1 + A2 + A3] (Y1) = 98.9872838249 mm 3.8971371585 in

Combine moment of inertia around neutral axis
(Tb*L1^3 + L2*Tsk^3 + Tcp*L3^3) +

Max(Y1,Y2) (Y) = 98.9872838249 mm 3.8971371585 in
Minimum combine section modulus = I / Y Z = 53803.5280009 mm³ 3.2830912786 in³
Bending stress of base block due to load TV (As per Roark-7th Ed. case 15 of table 9.2)
Mean radius of base block = (Do - Tsk - 2*l2 + 2*Y )/2 (Rm) = 859.74980498 mm 33.848417519 in
Bending moment = 1.5*w*Rm² = 0.239*W*Rm (M) = 2465762.44068 kg-mm 214041.87853 lb-in
since, [w=W / (2*3.14*Rm)] = 2.2225396
Bending stress = M / Z (Sb) = 4582.90103325 kg/cm² 65182.601396 lb/in²
Tangential shear stress
Tangential force = w*Rm / 2 = W / 4*3.14 (T) = 955.414012739 kg 2106.6878981 lb
Tangential shear stress = T / (A1 + A2 + A3) (Ss) = 16.8005568967 kg/cm² 238.95432074 lb/in²
Total stress = Sb + Ss (St) = 4599.70159015 kg/cm² 65421.555717 lb/in²
Allowable stress = 0.9*Syb (Sa) = 2404.53 kg/cm² 34199.63019 lb/in²
