Allowable Stress Design

To ensure the safety of a structural or mechanical member, it is necessary to
restrict the applied load to one that is less than the load the member can fully
support.
Because:
• The intended measurements of a structure or machine may not be exact, due
to errors in fabrication or in the assembly of its component parts.
• Unknown vibrations, impact, or accidental loadings can occur that may not be
accounted for in the design.
• Atmospheric corrosion, decay, or weathering tend to cause materials to
deteriorate during service.
• One method of specifying the allowable

load for a member is to use a number
called the factor of safety (F.S.).
• It is a ratio of the failure load Ffail to the

allowable load Fallow
• By making simplifying assumptions regarding the behavior of the material, the
equations σ= N/A and σavg = V/A can often be used to analyze or design a
simple connection or mechanical element.
• If a member is subjected to normal force at a section, its required area at the
section is determined from
• If the section is subjected to an average shear force, then the required area at
the section is
The control arm is subjected to the loading. Determine to the nearest 1/4 in. the required
diameters of the steel pins at A and C if the factor of safety for shear is F.S. = 1.5 and the
failure shear stress is τfail = 12 ksi.

The suspender rod is supported at its end by a fixed-connected circular disk. If the rod
passes through a 40-mm-diameter hole, determine the minimum required diameter of the
rod and the minimum thickness of the disk needed to support the 20-kN load. The
allowable normal stress for the rod is σallow = 60 MPa, and the allowable shear stress for the
disk is τallow = 35 MPa.
