DESIGN CALCULATIONS:
5.1 SELECTION OF MATERIAL FOR FRAME:

A. Frame

Assumptions

(Area of frame = 610 × 610 mm2)

Total load on frame is about 100kg

F=100×9.81=980.1N

R1 +R2 = F
And ΣMR1 = 0

F×305 - R2×610 = 0

Therefore,

R2 = 490.05 and R1 = 490.05

Mb = 490.05 × 305= 149465.25

Y= b/2 = 25/2 = 12.5mm

I = bd3 / 12 = (25)4 / 12= 32552.333

Stress on frame,

σ = Mb y / I = 57.39N / mm2

σ = Syt / fos therefore,

Syt = σ × fos

= 57.39× 2 …………… (assume. fos = 3)

= 114.78 N / mm2

Selecting material GCI 15 having Tensile strength (min) = 150 N / mm2

For safer design considerations as 114.78 N / mm2

Therefore all assumptions are in safer state.
