Homework Statement
A circular profile with radius r is subjected to opposing compressive forces Fc in the x and y directions as show. If the material has compressive strength sigma_c = 2000MPA, at what compressive force Fc will the profile experience failure?
Homework Equations
sigma_c = Fc/Area
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm not sure of the right way to approach this as I've only done compressive strength with forces normal to a rectangular or circular profile, not ones where the forces are on the edge of the circle as shown.
