Exercise 2
Consider the plate of material P235GH under tension below. The left edge is fixed and
dimensions are as indicated in the figure. The stress is uniform through the cross -section
and lateral contraction can be ignored.
1. CALCULATE THE TENSILE STRESS IN THE PLATE AND
DETERMINE
WHETHER
THE
PLATE
WILL
FAIL
ACCORDING TO THE EN 13445-3. T = 20 °C.
2. DOES
YOUR CONCLUSION CHANGE WHEN THE
TEMPERATURE IS INCREASED TO T = 200 °C?
3. WHAT IS THE MINIMUM THICKNESS OF THE PLATE
SUCH THAT IT SATISFIES THE FAILURE CRITERIA OF THE
EN 13445 AT T = 20 °C?
