Question
a. Provide schematic diagrams and photos that show application of a column/axial
member in real life. Explain function of the member for the selected application.
b. Identify and determine:
i)
Boundary/end conditions (support for the column/axial member such as
fixed to the wall, pin supported and etc.).
External axial load that act onto the column/axial member. Show all the
calculations performed in order to estimate the axial load.
Properties of the column/axial member (such as Young's modulus,
yield/ultimate stress, proportional limit, cross section (provide figure),
dimensions and etc.).
c. Determine critical load and critical stress for the column/axial member. Justify
selection of the formulas for the calculations.
d. Calculate and show that the column/axial member is safe and can withstand the load
in part b. ii).
Determine the maximum allowable eccentricity for the column/axial member.
Determine the maximum deflection of the column/axial member (at the center)
based on the eccentricity calculated in part f.
List down all the assumptions made. Provide relevant references and citations.
