Hi.
I am trying to define a set of calcuations to determine if a specific cross section of a frame structure is strong enought to withstand forces applied to the cross section.
I have reviewed standards and regulations for clues towards defining the calculations needed for the above stated problem, but have thus far been unsuccessful.
My question in brief;
Based on force applied to a frame structure due to load lifted by a loader crane mounted rigidly, how can i determine the stresses in diffeent cross sections of the frame structure?
My need is to optimize the cross sections for several sections along the length of frame to reduce weight but still acheive a safetyfactor of at least 1.2 from yield strength.
I have attached a simplified sketch to illustrate my question.
I would appreciate any input to help me solve this problem.
