ABSTRACT

Similarly, Yg can be calculated for Pt =10, 15 and 20 lbs. The results are plotted in Fig. 16.21 along with the measured values of Yg. There is a close

agreement between the two.

For P t = 5 lb, Tb = 3.5 in, The equation for M is [Eq. (16.11)]

M = Am Pt Tb = 0.77 Pt Tb where Am = 0.77 (max) from Table 16.2

By substituting and calculating, we have

M(max) =13.5 in-Ib Similarly M(max) can be calculated for other loads. The results are plotted in Fig. 16.21 along

with the measured values of M(maxr There is very close agreement between the two.
