Tutorial 1

This document contains: 1) Seven mechanics of solids problems involving stresses and strains in stepped shafts, loaded bars, and tapering plates under various forces with accompanying diagrams. 2) Five additional problems involving stresses and strains in materials like magnesium cylinders, aluminum shells bonded to brass cores, alloy plates, and bars under conditions like temperature changes and hydrostatic pressure. Diagrams illustrate the geometry of each problem. 3) The document provides the necessary equations, constants, initial conditions, and diagrams to calculate stresses, strains, forces, reactions and changes in length, area and volume for each mechanics of solids problem.

UNIT-1 Simple stresses and strains


PART-1

1. The stepped solid steel shaft ABC is loaded as shown, (Refer Fig-1). The normal stress in
section AB is twice the stress in section BC. Determine the magnitude of the force P.

2. The rigid bar ACEF is loaded as shown, (Refer Fig-2). Given, the area of wire BC is 60 mm2,
and of DE is 120 mm2; P = 6 kN; ESt = 200 GPa. Determine the stresses in the wires.

3. Determine total elongation at the lower end of the tapering plate shown (Refer Fig-3).
4. For the stepped aluminium shaft shown, sections AB and CD are solid rods, while section
BC is tubular with outer diameter 40 mm and inner diameter 30 mm, (Refer Fig-4). Given,
EAl = 70 GPa. Determine the displacement of end D w.r.t. end A.

5. A hollow steel pipe of outer diameter 40 mm and inner diameter 30 mm, is snugly fit
between the walls before loading, as shown (Refer Fig-5). Determine the walls reactions.

6. The aluminium rod reinforced by a steel tube, is initially 0.5 mm away from the floor, as
shown (Refer Fig-6). Determine the support reactions when the 400 kN force is applied.

7. A force P = 1 kN is applied to a rigid bar suspended by three wires, as shown, (Refer Fig-
7). Given, the wires are all identical and their cross-sectional area is 80 mm2; E = 200 GPa.
Determine distribution of the applied load among the wires.
PART-2

1. A magnesium cylinder is clamped with stainless steel carriage bolts which hold
the cylinder snugly against rigid jaws, as shown (Refer Fig-6). Given, the initial
temperature is 20O C; ESt = 200 GPa, αSt = 17.3 x 10-6/oC; EMg = 200 GPa, αMg =
26.9 x 10-6/oC. Determine the force in the cylinder when the final temperature
is raised to 130o C.

2. An aluminium shell is rigidly bonded to the brass core and the assembly is
unstressed at a temperature of 15 0C, as shown, (Refer Fig-2). Given, DBr = 25
mm, EBr = 105 GPa, αBr = 20.9 x 10-6/oC; D Al = 60 mm, EAl = 70 GPa, αAl = 23.6 x
10-6/oC. Consider only axial deformations, to determine the stresses in brass
and aluminium, when the temperature reaches 1950 C.

3. An alloy plate is subject to stresses as shown, (Refer Fig-3). Given, σ x = 120
MPa, σz = 160 MPa, ESt = 87 GPa, Poisson’s ratio is γ = 0.34. The plate thickness
is 4 mm. Determine the (a) change in length of side AB and BC, (b) diagonal AC,
and (c) the change in volume.

Fig.3
4. Calculate the modulus of rigidity and bulk modulus of a cylindrical bar if
diameter 25 mm and of length 1.6m, if the longitudinal strain in a bar during a
tensile test is four times the lateral strain. Find the change in volume, when
the bar is subjected to a hydrostatic pressure of 100 N/mm 2. Take E= 1x105
N/mm2.

5. Determine the stresses in the bars shown in fig.4 after a temperature change of
1800 C and change in their lengths.
