Problem Specification

The crank below (Figure 1.1) is fitted with a strain gauge and loaded as shown in Figure 1.2. The material is aluminum 6061-t6, the Young's modulus is 10,000 ksi, and the Poisson's Ratio is .33. Using hand calculations and ANSYS, determine the strain measured by the strain gauge.

Now that we know the specifications, we can begin analyzing the solution in step 1
