Problem 2.168
The manufacturer of a welded steel bracket specifies the work-
ing loads depicted in the figure of
Rn
versus
Rt
. Values of
Rn
and
Rt
that lie within the shaded region are allowable,
while values that lie outside of the region are unsafe. Such
a diagram is often called an interaction diagram because it
characterizes the combined effect that multiple loads have on
the strength of a component. For the loading and geometry
shown, determine the range of values load
P
may have and
still satisfy the manufacturer’s combined loading criterion.

Problem 2.169
For the loading and geometry shown, use the interaction diagram of Prob. 2.168
to determine if the manufacturer’s combined loading criterion is satisfied.
