1. The aluminum rod AB (G 5 27 GPa) is bonded to the brass rod BD (G 5 39 GPa).

Knowing that portion CD of the brass rod is hollow and has an inner diameter of 40
mm, determine the angle of twist at A.

2. The hollow shaft shown is made of steel that is assumed to be elastoplastic with τ Y
=145 MPa and G = 77.2 GPa. Determine the magnitude T of the torque and the
corresponding angle of twist (a) at the onset of yield, (b) when the plastic zone is 10
mm deep.
3. The horizontal shaft AD is attached to a fixed base at D and is subjected to the torques
shown. A 44-mm-diameter hole has been drilled into portion CD of the shaft.
Knowing that the entire shaft is made of steel for which G = 77 GPa, determine the
angle of twist at end A.

4. A close coiled helical spring is made of 6 mm diameter wire. The coil diameter is 80
mm, number of coil is 10. If the maximum stress in the spring is not to exceed 180
MPa, determine (a) the proof load, and (b) the extension of the spring.

5. A close coiled helical spring has mean diameter of 80 mm, has spring constant of 100
kN/m. It has 10 coils. The maximum shear stress is 200 MPa. What is diameter of
spring wire? What is the maximum load the spring can carry? Take G = 80 GPa.

6. A close coiled helical spring has to extend by 120 mm under an axial force of 1200 N.

250 MPa and σU = 450 MPa. Using a factor of safety of 3.00, determine the largest
couple that can be applied to the beam when it is bent about the z axis.
9. A 60-Nm couple is applied to the steel bar shown. (a) Assuming that the couple is
applied about the z axis as shown, determine the maximum stress and the radius of
curvature of the bar. (b) Solve part a, assuming that the couple is applied about the y
axis. Use E 5 200 GPa.

indeterminate to the first degree.)

13. A 2-m-long pin-ended column of square cross section is to be made of wood.


Assuming E = 13 GPa, σall = 12 MPa, and using a factor of safety of 2.5 in computing
Euler’s critical load for buckling, determine the size of the cross section if the column
is to safely support (a) a 100-kN load, (b) a 200-kN load.

14. A thick walled closed end cylinder is made of an Aluminum alloy with E = 72 GPa
and poisson’s ratio = 0.33, has inside diameter of 200mm and outside diameter of
800mm. The cylinder is subjected to internal fluid pressure of 150 MPa. Determine
the principal stresses and maximum shear stress at a point on the inside surface of the
cylinder. Also determine the increase in inside diameter due to fluid pressure.

15. A thin cylinder vessel of 2 m diameter and 4 m length contains a particular gas at a
pressure of 1.65 N/mm2. If the permissible tensile stress of the material of the shell is
150 N/mm2, find the minimum thickness required.
