Column – Vertical Load Axial load – Compression & Tension
Column – Lateral Load Non-axial (lateral) load – Buckling in compression
Beam – Vertical Load Non-axial load – Deflection
w = P/l Basic loads (forces) Reactions are the same for Concentrated loads and Distributed loads Beam stresses are different
Greater max. moment Greater deflection w = P/l
C N T Beam – Stresses Compression, Tension, Neutral axis
Greater max. moment Greater deflection Beam – Concentrated Vertical Load Resist bending with Moment connection
Greater max. moment Greater deflection Beam – Distributed Vertical Load Resist bending with Moment connection
Dmax =Pl 3/48EI Factors influencing deflection: P = load l= length between supports E = elastic modulus of material (elasticity) I = Moment of inertia (depth/weight of beam)
Elastic modulus of materials Structural Steel = 200 GPa (29,023,300 lb/in2) Titanium = 110 GPa (15,962,850 lb/in2) Aluminum = 70 GPa (10,158,177 lb/in2) Concrete = 21 GPa (3,047,453 lb/in2) Douglas Fir = 13 GPa (1,886,518 lb/in2) Why are titanium and aluminum used in aircraft?
1 lb/in2 = 6891 Pa Density of materials Structural Steel = 489 lb/ft3 Titanium = 282 lb/ft3 Aluminum = 169 lb/ft3 Concrete = 150 lb/ft3 Douglas Fir = 32 lb/ft3 Yield Strength of materials Structural Steel=350-450 MPa Titanium (Alloy)=900-1400 MPa Aluminum=100-350 MPa Concrete=70 MPa (compressive) Douglas Fir= N/A
Icc = Moment of inertia of a rectangle about the neutral axis – i.e. it’s centroid = width x height3 /12 Ixx = Moment of inertia of a rectangle about an axis parallel to the neutral axis = Icc + width x height x (distance between axes)2 Centroid = S (Area x distance to bending axis)/(Total area) Moment of Inertia of beam Dependent on cross-sectional geometry Not dependent on material properties
