D-3.4 STRESS DESIGN CHECK

σmax := 213.80MPa Maximum stress

LE
σallow = 227.27 MPa Governing allowable stress
MP
SA

Comparing:
213.80 < 227.27
Since the maximum stress is less than the governing allowable stress,
Thus, the bracket is adequate in stress design.

See Appendix D-4 for the finite element analysis of receiving bracket
D-3.5 DEFLECTION CHECK

δmax := 0.49mm Maximum deflection

δallow := 1.00mm Allowable deflection

LY
ON
LE
Comparing:
0.49 < 1.00
Since the maximum deflection is less than the allowable deflection,
Thus, the bracket is adequate in deflection.
