STRENGTH OF MATERIAL ASSIGNMENT

Submission due date , Wednsday 21, June 2023, at 4 AM.

Q1) A 20-mm diameter rod made of an experimental plastic is subjected to a tensile force of
magnitude P= 6kN. Knowing that an elongation of 14 mm and a decrese in diameter of 0.85 mm
are observed in a 150-mm length, determine the modulus of elasticity, the modulus of rigidity
and poissons ratio for the material.

Q2) The composite bar in fig.2 is stress-free before the axial loads P1 and P2 are applied.
Assuming that the walls are rigid, calculate the stress in each material if P1=150 kN and P2=90
kN .

Q3) A rigid bar of weight W = 800 N hangs from three equally spaced vertical wires, two of steel
and one of aluminum (see figure). The wires also support a load P acting at the midpoint of the
bar. The diameter of the steel wires is 2 mm, and the diameter of the aluminum wire is 4 mm. What
load Pallow can be supported if the allowable stress in the steel wires is 220 MPa and in the
aluminum wire is 80 MPa? (Assume Es = 210 GPa and Ea = 70 GPa.)

Q4) A composite cube with 40-mm sides and the properties shown is made with glass polymer
fibers aligned in the X-direction. The cube is constrained against deformations in the Y and Z
directions and is subjected to a tensile load of 65 kN in the X-direction. Determine (a) the change
in the length of the cube in the X direction, (b) the stress 𝜎𝑋 , 𝜎𝑌 , 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝜎𝑍 .
