Bending Stress:

From Equations (08),(09)and(10),

M = 37.291 KN, Y = 0.07 m, I = 1885 * 10^-8 m^4

M/I = /Y

= M*Y/I

SUMMARY OF RESULTS DATED : 02/02/16

SUMMARY OF RESULTS :
Maximum bending stress - Yield stress of material used - Acceptance (Sy > Sb)
Sb Sy
138 N/mm2 250 N/mm2 Yes Accepted

Conclusion:

The total operating weight of the vessel i.e 23,156 Kg is distributed to 6 locations through legs
and base plate. This load of 3860 kg is acting on 2 locations of support I beam. The bending
stress created by this load is 130 N/mm2, this is less then the yield strength of the material used
(IS 2062 Gr B Mild steel).

Hence provided I beam with dimensions of 400 mm (D) x 140 mm (W) x 10 mm (T) With
length of 2750 mm with mild steel material is safe for operation.
