An L2 steel strap having a thickness of 0.125 in. and a width of 2 in. is bent into a circular arc of radius 600 in. Determine the maximum bending stress in the strap.

the maximum bending stress in the strap is 3.02 ksi

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

steel strap thickness = 0.125 in

width = 2 in

circular arc radius = 600 in

we know that, standard value of modulus of elasticity of L2 steel is; E = 29 × 10³ ksi;

Now, using simple theory of bending

1/p = M/EI

solve for M

Mp = EI

M = EI / p let this be equation 1

The maximum bending stress in the strap is;

σ = Mc / I let this be equation 2

substitute equation 1 into 2

σ = ( EI / p)c / I

σ = ( c/p )E

so we substitute in our values

σ = ( (0.125/2) / 600 )29 × 10³

σ = 0.00010416666 × 29 × 10³

σ = 3.02 ksi

Therefore, the maximum bending stress in the strap is 3.02 ksi
