Lesson December 6th#

During today’s lesson you’ll work on a complex exercise on the topic of the Failure models. Please ask your questions regarding the homework as well!

Exercise Failure models#

Given is the following structure. It represents the Prinses Amaliabrug, a bicycle bridge near Dordrecht.

  1. Find the relevant cross-sectional properties.

  2. Find the bending- en torsional moment distribution.

  3. Find the shear- and normal forces in cross-section just right of \(\text{D}\) at point \(\text{E}\)

  4. Draw the stress state in cross-section just right of \(\text{D}\) at point \(\text{E}\) in the principal stress plane including Tresca’s failure criterium for unknown yield stress.

  5. What should be the minimum yield stress according to Tresca?
