Question 1 36 mm 12 mm 600 mm Figure 1 The L-2 tool steel link AB shown in Figure 1 is pin supported using 10 mm diameter connecting pins made from A-36 steel. The link is 600 mm long and unstressed at room temperature. The supports at A and Bare fixed in space and are unable to move relative to each other. If the overall safety factor of the structure is 2, you are required to: a Determine the critical buckling load(s) of the link. b Determine how much the temperature can be raised without risking the failure of the entire structure.Explanation / Answer
