An AISI 1050 HR solid tube of 30mm diameter is acted upon by force F1 oscillating as shown in Figure 2, force F2 oscillating between 0.5kN-1.5kN, F3=1.2kN. The tube is welded to a larger round base by a 5mm fillet weldment, and the base is connected to the ground base (shown in gray color) by means of four bolts M8x1.25mm (property class of 4.8). The bolts are evenly distributed at a distance of 30mm away from the center of the tube.
