Unit - I

1. A force P of 70 N is applied by a rider to the front hand brake of a bicycle (P is the


resultant of an evenly distributed pressure). As the hand brake pivots at A, a
tension T develops in the 460-mm long brake cable (A e = 1.075 mm2) which
elongates 0.214 mm. Find normal stress and strain in the brake cable.

2. A circular aluminium tube of length L = 400 mm is loaded in compression by


forces P (see figure). The outside and inside diameters are 60 mm and 50 mm,
respectively. A strain gage is placed on the outside of the bar to measure normal
strains in the longitudinal direction. (a) If the measured strain is 550 X 10-6. what
is the shortening deflection of the bar? (b) If the compressive stress in the bar is
intended to be 40 MPa, what should be the load P?

3. A control rod made of yellow brass must not stretch more than 3 mm when the
tension in the wire is 4 kN. Knowing that E = 105 GPa and that the maximum
allowable normal stress is 180 MPa, determine (a) the smallest diameter that can
be elected for the rod, (b) the corresponding maximum length of the rod.
4. A single axial load of magnitude P = 58 kN is applied at end C of the brass rod
ABC. Knowing that E = 105 GPa, determine the diameter d of portion BC for which
the deflection of point C will be 3 mm.

5. Both portions of the rod ABC are made of an aluminum for which E =
70 GPa. Knowing that the magnitude of P is 4 kN, determine (a) the
value of Q so that the deflection at A is zero, (b) the corresponding
deflection of B.

6. A 1.2-m section of aluminum pipe of cross-sectional area 1100 mm2


rests on a fixed support at A. The 15-mm-diameter steel rod BC
hangs from a rigid bar that rests on the top of the pipe at B.
Knowing that the modulus of elasticity is 200 GPa for teel and 72 GPa for
aluminum, determine the deflection of point C when a 60 kN force is applied at C.
7. An axial force of 60 kN is applied to the assembly shown by means of
rigid end plates. Determine (a) the normal stress in the brass shell, (b)
the corresponding deformation of the assembly.

8. For the composite block shown, determine (a) the


value of h if the portion of the load carried by the
aluminum plates is half the portion of the load
carried by the brass core, (b) the total load if the stress
in the brass is 80 MPa.

9. Three steel rods (E = 200 GPa) support a 36-kN load P. Each of the rods AB and
CD has 200-mm2 cross-sectional area and rod EF has a 625 mm 2 cross sectional
area, Determine the (a) the change in length of rod EF, (b) the stress in each rod.

10. A steel tube (E = 200 GPa) with a 32-mm outer diameter and a 4-mm thickness is
placed in a vise that is adjusted so that its jaws just touch the ends of the tube
without exerting any pressure on them. The two forces shown are then applied to
the tube. After these forces are applied, the vise is adjusted to decrease the
distance between its jaws by 0.2 mm. Determine (a) the forces exerted by the
vise on the tube at A and D, (b) the change in length of the portion BC of the tube.

11. The concrete post (E= 25 GPa and 𝛂c = 9.9 x 10-6/°C) is reinforced with
six steel bars, each of 22-mm diameter (Es =200 GPa and 𝛂s = 11.7 x
10-6/°C). Determine the normal stresses induced in the steel and in the
concrete by a temperature rise of 35°C.
12. Determine (a) the compressive force in the bars shown after a temperature rise of
96°C, (b) the corresponding change in length of the bronze bar.

13. Knowing that a 0.5-mm gap exists


when the temperature is 20 °C,
determine (a) the temperature at which the normal stress in the aluminum bar
will be equal to -90 MPa, (b) the corresponding exact length of the aluminum bar.

14. For the given state of stress, determine the normal and shearing

16. For the given state of stresses, determine (a) the principal planes, (b) the
principal stresses.

18. Two steel plates of uniform cross section 10 x 80 mm are welded

to the welded plates and that 𝛃 = 25°, determine (a) the in-plane
together as shown. Knowing that centric 100-kN forces are applied

shearing stress parallel to the weld, (b) the normal stress


perpendicular to the weld. (Use both analytical and Mohr circle
methods)

19. The steel pipe AB has A 102-mm outer diameter and a 6-mm wall
thickness. Knowing that arm CD is rigidly attached to the pipe, determine the
principal stresses and a maximum shearing stress at point H using analytical and
graphical method (Mohr circle).
