Thank you so much for replying. Please pardon my ignorance.
I have attempted a Free Body Diagram. I am trying to do a static analysis on the beam.
Qty 9, 50x5 -250 long mild steel flats are welded on to the blue(all flats are placed 900mm apart - centre to centre) and the plates are fastened...
Hi drawoh, thank you for your reply. I am unable to draw a free body diagram. I am confused, when analysing only the main runner 150x50x3 RHS( Blue beam), what the reaction force would be? Would it be distributed uniform or non-uniform reaction? Do I need to consider the Chassis frame deflection...
Hi guys, I am trying to do a structural analysis with hand calculation on the main runner that sit on the top of the chassis frame of the truck. 6 pallets are placed at the top of the main runner as shown in the picture. Each pallet has distributed load of 2000 Kg. I want to draw a sheer force...
