Lesson December 5th#
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.
Find the relevant cross-sectional properties.
Find the bending- en torsional moment distribution.
Find the shear- and normal forces in cross-section just right of \(\rm{D}\) at point \(\rm{E}\)
Draw the stress state in cross-section just right of \(\rm{D}\) at point \(\rm{E}\) in the principal stress plane including Tresca’s failure criterium for unknown yield stress.
What should be the minimum yield stress according to Tresca?
