Consider a Yoke - made of Aluminum (7075-T6) and Link - made of Aluminum (2024-36) joint assembly under 6.0 kips (kilo pounds) axial load. A 1.5 inch outside diameter hollow Stainless Steel (15-5PH, H1025) pin connects them. Estimate: a) hollow pin’s minimum wall thickness, b) Link’s minimum thickness, c) Yoke’s minimum thickness (each), given that a F.S.=2.5 (Factor of Safety) is required.
Sketch a F.B.D. and show all steps, and present your final answer inside a box.
