In response to the thread about crank-up tower failures I put some selected output views from a finite element stress analysis of my LM-470 loaded to theoretical yield failure at: http://www.flukey.cc/km5vi/finite%20Element/ The analysis indicates the theoretical points of failure where the peak stress exceeds the material yield (for this tower 42,000 psi). As someone stated, these points certainly are not at the lower tower section.
