thanks everyone for your responses.
i am now beginning to get the idea behind this terminology.
Greglock i agree that this provides a measure of assymetry. However say that now you are applying the load on this asymmetric section in such a manner that it is ONLY deflecting in the direction of...
Guys,
I understand the logic moment of inertia of a crossesction (which is basically a measure of resistance towards bending about a particular axis). But i cannot visualise or even understand the product of inertia of a crossection (ABOUT THE CENTROIDAL AXIS) from the perspective of solid...
george69, basically once you satisfy the check of 0.66Fy, you are automatically satisfying the Von mises (since 0.66 Fy gives you a lower allowable bending stress than the von-mises criterion). So, technically the code is helping you in a way to NOT check the von-mises criterion. (for the...
First of all, to correct EdR statement, Von mises criteria extends from from the root criterion of Tresca condition (i.e. yeilding failure occurs when maximum shear stress within the material reaches the maximum shear stress sustainable under uniaxial stress conditions)....you got to understand...
