Cantilever Beam Design (with Concentrated Force at the end)

Beamn Material
Specification = SS 304
Modulus = 201000 MPa
Yield stress = 300 MPa
Allowable stress for tension/compression, Fa = 0.6*Fy = 180 MPa
Allowable stress for bending, Fb = 0.66*Fy = 198 MPa
Allowable stress for shear, Fv = 0.45*Fy = 135 MPa

Beam sectional property

Beam Type = Square RHS
Designation = 100x100x6 RHS
Cross-section area, Ag = 2130 mm2
Ix = 3040000 mm4
Zx = 60700 mm3
Iy = 3040000 mm4
Zy = 60700 mm3

Loadings
Axial force, fa = 3000 N
Bending force in x direction, fx = 3000 N
Bending force in y direction, fy = 0 N
Beam length, L = 800 mm
Bending moment, Mx = 2.4E+06 N.mm
Bending moment, My = 0.0E+00 N.mm
Shear force, fv = √(fx2+fy2) = 3000 N

Calculation
Axial stress, σa = fa/Ag = 1 MPa
Bending in x directio
Stress, σb1 = Mx/Zy = 40 MPa
Displacement, Δ1 = fx.L3/(3.E.Iy) = 1 mm
Bending stress in y direction
Stress, σb2 = My/Zx = 0 MPa
3
Displacement, Δ2 = fy.L /(3.E.Ix) = 0 mm
Shear stress, σv = fv/Ag = 1 MPa

σa/Fa + σ1/Fb + σ2/Fb + σv/Fv = 0.22 OK

Overall displacement, Δ = 0.84 mm
Allowable deflection = L/180 = 4.44 mm OK
