WORKING EXAMPLE
Find the strength of the 12 mm thick plate shown in Fig. 9.2. All
the holes are 21.5 mm as gross diameter. Take ft=150 N/mm2
FORMULAS:
Net width/breadth for chained line = b- nd
𝑝2
Net width/breadth for staggered line = b – nd+nz +
4𝑔
n: number of holes in the line
nz /m= number of zigzag or inclined lines.
Q2.
N.B: USE t= 16mm
Calculate also the safe load if the safe stress is 140N/mm2
