A sign of dimensions 2.0 m x 1.2 m is supported by a hollow circular pole having outer
diameter 220 mm and inner diameter 180 mm as shown in Figure 1. The sign is offset 0.5
m from the centerline of the pole and its lower edge is 6.0 m above the ground.
Determine the Principle stress and maximum shear Stress due to a wind pressure of 2.0
kPa against sign.

PART SELECTION
In the Create Part dialog box (shown above) name the part and
Select 2D Planar
Select Deformable
Select Wire
Set approximate size = 20
PROPERTY SELECTION
1)Material selection
The technique to create material based on the question it use steel with the young
moduulus 200GPA or 200e9
2)Profile
Double click on the Profiles node in the model tree
The assembly for the modelling technique.choose create instance and the dependent
mode
Step is the general procedure to choose the name load .In this case i choose the static
general load.
Edit the output variable will be choose and i choose stress,displacement and force.
2) BOUDARY CONDITION
Users need to identify the location of the loads and types of load to be applied on
nodes/ keypoints. Also the location of the constraints.Boudary condition is one of the
load procedure.
In this case we are fixed and encastre the bottom.
The force will put on the sign as shown in the figure.
Distributed load
Encastre(fixed)
3)MESHING
The process of applying and controlling nodes and elements to the model.
a) Von misses
The minimum principal stress is simply the eigenvalue that has the lowest magnitude.
Based on the result the red colour mean the mininum principle stress it can gived. Based
on the result minimum stress it can gived .The result show the minimum stress it can
gived until 0.It mean until no stress have.The maximum principal stress is the most
tensile (least compressive) and the minimum principal stress is the least tensile (most
compressive).
QUESTION 2
A tubular post of square cross section supports a horizontal platform as shown in Figure
2. The tube has outer dimension b=6 in. and wall thickness t=0.5 in. The platform has
dimensions 6.57 in. x 24.0 in. supports a uniformly distributed load of 20 psi acting over
its upper surface. The resultant of this distributed load is a vertical force P1. Determine
Principle stress and maximum shear Stress.
