SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on analyzing stress in a bracket subjected to an eccentric load, emphasizing the need to calculate both bending moment and axial load. The user has already determined the necessary load to support the bracket but is uncertain about the correct Free Body Diagram (FBD) to utilize. Additionally, a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was conducted to further investigate the stress distribution in the design.
