Cantilever Beam Design (with Concentrated Force at the end)

Beamn Material
Specification = SS 304
Modulus = 193500 MPa
Yield stress = 172 MPa
Allowable stress for tension/compression, Fa = 0.6*Fy = 103 MPa
Allowable stress for bending, Fb = 0.66*Fy = 114 MPa
Allowable stress for shear, Fv = 0.45*Fy = 77 MPa

Beam sectional property

Beam Type = Channel
Designation = 150 x 75 PFC
Cross-section area, Ag = 2250 mm2
Ix = 8340000 mm4
Zx = 111000 mm3
Iy = 1290000 mm4
Zy = 25700 mm3

Loadings
Axial force, fa = 1000 N
Bending force in x direction, fx = 2000 N
Bending force in y direction, fy = 3000 N
Beam length, L = 800 mm
Bending moment, Mx = 1.6E+06 N.mm
Bending moment, My = 2.4E+06 N.mm
Shear force, fv = √(fx2+fy2) = 3606 N

Calculation
Axial stress, σa = fa/Ag = 0 MPa
Bending in x directio
Stress, σb1 = Mx/Zy = 62 MPa
Displacement, Δ1 = fx.L3/(3.E.Iy) = 1 mm
Bending stress in y direction
Stress, σb2 = My/Zx = 22 MPa
3
Displacement, Δ2 = fy.L /(3.E.Ix) = 0 mm
Shear stress, σv = fv/Ag = 2 MPa

σa/Fa + σ1/Fb + σ2/Fb + σv/Fv = 0.76 OK

Overall displacement, Δ = 1.40 mm
Allowable deflection = L/180 = 4.44 mm OK
