7.5 The following figure shows a lifting bracket made of structural steel with Young’s
modulus E = 200 GPa and Poisson’s ratio ν = 0.3. The base portion of the bracket
is 20 cm long, 12 cm wide, and 3 cm deep. The fillet radius at the base corners is
1.75 cm. Four through-holes each of radius 1 cm are located symmetrically both
length wise and width wise in the base, with the hole centers being 12 cm apart
by 6 cm apart. The upper portion of the base has a profile sketch shown below
and is 3 cm thick. Suppose that the bracket is fixed on the bottom, and lifted
by a bearing load of 20 kN through the bolt hole located in the upper portion.
Compute the deformation and stresses in the bracket using the FEA.
