Answer:
In the clevis shown in Fig. 1-11b, find the minimum bolt diameter and the minimum thickness of each yoke that will support a load P = 14 kips without exceeding a shearing stress of 12 ksi and a bearing stress of 20 ksi.

127-fbd-clevis-double-shear-bolt.gifFor shearing of rivets (double shear)
P=τA
14=12[2(14πd2)]
d=0.8618in → diameter of bolt answer
For bearing of yoke:
P=σbAb
14=20[2(0.8618t)]
t=0.4061in → thickness of yoke answer
