Write your applied force: ____________________ N
Determine:
a) The location of maximum and minimum Von-Mises stresses. (attach the screenshots)
why do you think the maximum stress occurred at this location ?
b) The original diameter of the tube is 5 mm. What is the maximum von misses stress for
the bracket if the diameter is changed to 6 mm. And, hence, what if the diameter is
change to 7.5 mm. (attached the sensitivity study graph)
c) The original upper arm is 40 mm, what will happen to the maximum von misses stress, if
the upper arm length is reduced to 35 mm. and, hence what is the maximum stress if
the upper arm is extended to 45 mm? (attached the sensitivity study graph)
d) The original bend radius is 10 mm, what is the maximum stress if the radius is changed
to 8 mm and 12 mm ? (attached the screenshot of sensitivity study)
e) If given to you, the factor of safety is 1.3. will your part fail in question part (a)
(Bonus)using the answer in part (b), (c) and (d), how will you propose changes to the bracket to
match the factor of safety and in the same time, you can reduce the material usage.
Good Luck.
