with the following:
Solution

h = 0.156 m

Thus, a 350 N weight must be dropped from a height of at least 156 mm to produce initial
yielding of the mid-span outer fibers of the beam.

2(4000)
= 35,368 psi
(0.036)(2.0)

Since the limiting allowable contact pressure is given as 250,000 psi, the calculated
value of pmax = 35,368 psi is acceptable.
To find the value of 1 max , the plot of Figure 4.18 may be utilized. Noting that 1 max peaks
at about z = 0.75b (for = 0.3 ), the corresponding ratio of 1 max / pmax may be read as

1 max
pmax
Thus

= 0.3

1 max = 0.3(35,368) = 10, 610 psi

and it occurs at a depth of

z = 0.75(0.036) = 0.027 inch

the same in both members since the material is the same for both

Replace the next line with: where L = nD = 4.25(0.018) = 0.2403 mm . Therefore

Based on the design safety factor, the allowable normal stress is allow = S yp / nd = 930 MPa.
