Following on from my reading of thread507-310434
I'm trying to find the yield load of a circular ring under tensile loading, given by Roark's 7th Edition, Table 9.2.
Roark's equations show various different loading arrangements, mostly external forces (W) compressing the ring towards the ring center. I'm trying to find the opposite - the ring will be in tension with forces applied outwards from the ring centre. I understand the equations are valid for negative forces i.e. using -W forces for forces acting in the opposite direction.
The problem being analysed is that of a handrail stanchion socket (the circular ring in this case). I am trying to determine the yield stress at the top of the socket given a force applied laterally at the top of the handrail stanchion which is placed in the socket. Please see an example drawing of socket attached for reference.
I am new to the world of Roark's formulae and looking for some advice/guidance if this particular loading situation would be applicable.
Having had an initial look through the various loading arrangements in Table 9.2. I think it should be possible but I was hoping someone on his forum may be able to provide me some direction
