Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A frame structure has a bolt connection under an eccentric load of 1200 N creating 800 N shear and 600 N tension. Calculate the resultant force on the bolt and discuss any necessary design adjustments.

💡 Hint: Use the Pythagorean theorem to combine the forces.

Challenge 2 Hard

In a testing scenario, if a bracket plate undergoes eccentric loading causing it to bend, discuss the key factors that should be analyzed to avoid failure.

💡 Hint: Consider material and structural engineering principles.
