Link AB, of width b = 2 in. and thickness t = 14 in., is used to support the end of a
A
horizontal beam. Knowing that the average normal stress in the link is 20 ksi and
that the average shearing stress in each of the two pins is 12 ksi, determine (a) the
d diameter d of the pins, (b) the average bearing stress in the link.

 PROBLEM 1.47

A load P is supported as shown by a steel pin that has been inserted in a

short wooden member hanging from the ceiling. The ultimate strength of
the wood used is 60 MPa in tension and 7.5 MPa in shear, while the
ultimate strength of the steel is 145 MPa in shear. Knowing that
b 40 mm, c 55 mm, and d 12 mm, determine the load P if an
d
overall factor of safety of 3.2 is desired.
