Problem Sheet - 2 Topic: Stress Submission Date: 27/08/2019

The document contains 7 practice problems related to strength of materials. Problem 1 asks the student to determine the diameters of disks supporting a load based on allowable stresses. Problem 2 asks for the average shear stress in pins subjected to double shear. Problem 3 asks for the bolt diameter required to support a shear load with a given safety factor. The remaining problems involve calculating stresses in various structural components and assemblies under given loading conditions.

Submission date: 27/08/2019

NOTE: Draw all necessary Free body diagrams for all problems

1. The assembly consists of three disks A, B, and C that are used to support the load of 140
kN. Determine the smallest diameter d1 of the top disk, the diameter d2 within the support
space, and the diameter d3 of the hole in the bottom disk. The allowable bearing stress for
the material is σ allowable =350MPa and allowable shear stress is τallow = 125 MPa. (Ans:
d1=22.6mm, d3=27.6mm)

2. If, P= 20KN, determine the average shear stress developed in the pins at A and C. The
pins are subjected to double shear as shown, and each has a diameter of 18 mm.
(Ans: τA= τC=78.6MPa)

3. The joint is fastened together using two bolts. Determine the required diameter of the bolts
if the failure shear stress for the bolts τfail= 350MPa. Use a factor of safety 2.5 for shear.
(Ans: d=13.5mm)
4. The long bolt passes through the 30-mm-thick plate. If the force in the bolt shank is 8 kN,
determine the average normal stress in the shank, the average shear stress along the
cylindrical area of the plate defined by the section lines a–a, and the average shear stress
in the bolt head along the cylindrical area defined by the section lines b–b. (Ans:
σs=208MPa, (τavg)a=4.72MPa (τavg)b=45.5MPa)

5. The bar in Figure has a constant width of 35 mm and a thickness of 10 mm. Determine
the maximum average normal stress in the bar when it is subjected to the loading shown.
(Hibler 8th Ed. Problem 1/84) (Ans: σBC=85.7MPa)

6. A tower is made of three uniform cylindrical segments AB, BC, and CD of diameter d1, d2,
and d3 respectively in series (as shown in figure).it carries a load of mass M1=1000Kg at
the top (location A), a platform (deck)at B, which is anchored using cables with a net
vertical upward force P=500g N, and another load of mass M2=2000Kg at C. Assume the
tower segments and the platform to be relatively light.
I. Determine the internal axial force distribution in the three segments of the tower
and sketch the corresponding axial force diagram. What is the ground reaction (at
D) on the tower?
II. If D=0.2m, determine d1 and d2 such that the average axial normal stress is uniform
(i.e. constant) along the tower. (Ans: d1=0.283m, d3=0.450m)
7. The two portions of member AB are glued together along a plane forming an angle θ with
the horizontal. Knowing that the ultimate stress for the glued joint is 17 MPa in tension
and 9 MPa in shear, determine (a) the value of θ for which the factor of safety of the
member is maximum, (b) the corresponding value of the factor of safety. (Hint: Equate the
expressions obtained for the factors of safety with respect to the normal and shearing
stresses.) (Ans: θ =230 based on tensile stress, θ =320 based on shearing stress). Note, the
figure is not in SI units. Assume the dimensions as 50x30mm instead of 2 and 1.25and load
as 10 kN instead of 2.4 kpi.
