Step 1
Step 1: The cross-sectional area of the clamp at $D$ is: $A = (60 \text{ mm} + 10 \text{ mm}) \times (40 \text{ mm} + 10 \text{ mm}) = 70 \text{ mm} \times 50 \text{ mm} = 3500 \text{ mm}^2$. Show more…

Determine the maximum ram force $P$ that can be applied to the clamp at $D$ if the allowable normal stress for the material is $\sigma_{\text {allow }}=180 \mathrm{MPa}$
The clamp is made from members $A B$ and $A C$ which are pin connected at $A .$ If it exerts a compressive force at $C$ and $B$ of 180 N, determine the maximum compressive stress in the clamp at section $a-a$. The screw $E F$ is subjected only to a tensile force along its axis.
A C-clamp as shown in figure carries a load 25 kN. The cross-section of the clamp at X-X is rectangular having width (b) equal to twice the thickness (t). a) Assuming that the clamp is made of steel casting with allowable normal stress of 100 MPa, find its dimensions. Use Maximum Principal Stress Theory. b) Also determine the bending and transverse shear stresses at section Z-Z . c) Then compute maximum principal stress, minimum principal stress, and maximum shear stress. d) As per Maximum Sear Stress Theory, is clamp safe at section Z-Z? (Assume allowable shear stress half of allowable normal stress).
