In the previous video, we determined the yielding load of P to be 254kN. Also, the load of P can be increased up to 190.5kN before one element, AC, becomes plastic. For the same example:
- If load P is increased to 160kN and is removed from the system, what is the stress in the rods after the load is removed?
- If the load is increased to 220kN and removed, determine the permanent deformation of point C as well as residual stresses in each element.
