The vertical portion of the press shown is made of a rectangular tube of wall thickness t=15mm. Knowing that the press has been used to tighten two wooden planks exerting a force P=22kN. Determine: a) The normal bending stress at point A and at point C (given in MPa) and define whether it is in compression or tension. b) If the allowable bending stress is operm = 200 MPa, what is the overall safety factor of the system? 60 mm a a A B 80 mm |-200 mm Section a-a 80 mm
