Free body diagram on moment and torsion

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the application of free body diagrams to analyze forces in two cases involving a block and a T-block. In case 1, the object is fastened on the x-z plane, while in case 2, the forces are directly applied to the block. It is concluded that the forces in case 1 are not directly transferred to the block, as they are exerted through fasteners, which only transmit certain types of forces. The impact of fasteners, such as socket head cap screws, is also considered, indicating they primarily create compressive forces at the contact points. The overall analysis suggests that static equations can help determine the forces transmitted to the block under different conditions.

Homework Statement


It's not exactly a homework question, just want to see if i have the right concept in drawing free body diagrams

See attached Picture.
In case 1, the object is fastened on plane x-z and the rectangular block is fastened to the T-block in y-z plane.

Will the force be transferred to the block as it is in case 2?

Homework Equations


nil


The Attempt at a Solution



see attached picture. I think My1 would not be created?


Thanks alot. Help is much appreciated.

No (I assume the forces are not directly applied to the block in case 1). The forces that exist between the block and the rest of the frame occur at the fasteners and the type of forces depends on what type of forces the fastener can exert. So if you break the block and frame apart, you would model the forces on the block as the forces exerted by the fasteners. Whether some component of the those external forces transmit to the block can be found out from the static equations.

If this is fastened in a random vibration machine and the fasteners used are socket head cap screws?

The fasteners will only create a compressive force at the threads and at the contact of the cap and the block? so the g-force from the vibration is not transferred??!
