PROBLEM OF THE WEEK - Mechanical: Machine Design & Materials NCEES Problem 538 - Static Design

Problem 538 in the NCEES Mechanical Practice Exam for Machine Design & Materials falls under the topic “Static Design” and has a fairly straightforward solution, except that it's not obvious where the equation came from that it uses for calculating the distortion energy stress. We have had a lot of questions in the participant forum for our MDM review course about its origin. This video shows where that equation comes from, and in the process provides a powerful general equation for other similar type problems. The video also fills in a few details left out of the NCEES solution.. - Dr. Tom
