HW-1

Topic: Equilibrium of deformable bodies, Stress-Strain and Material Properties

1. Determine the resultant internal normal and shear


force in the member at (a) section a-a and (b) section
b-b, each of which passes through point A. The 500
N load is applied along the centroidal axis of the
member.

2. Determine the resultant internal loadings acting on


the cross section through point D of member AB.

3. The 800 N load is being hoisted at a constant


speed using the motor M, which has a weight of
90 N. Determine the resultant internal loadings
acting on the cross section through point B in the
beam. The beam has a weight of 40 N/m and is
fixed to the wall at A. (Ans: 0.4 kN, 0.84 kN,
0.728 kNm)

4. The main beam AB supports the load on the wing


of the airplane. The loads consist of wheel
reaction of 175000 N at C, the 6000 N weight of
the fuel in the tank of the wing, having a center
of gravity at D, and the 2000 N weight of the
wing, having a center of gravity at E. If it is fixed
to the fuselage at A, determine the resultant
internal loadings on the beam at this point.
Assume that the wing does not transfer any of the
loads to the fuselage; except through the beam.
5. Determine the largest load P that can be applied to the frame
without causing either the average normal stress or average shear
stress at section a-a to exceed 150 MPa and 60 MPa, respectively.
Member CB has a square cross section of 25 mm on each side. (Ans:
62.5 kN)

6. The wooden specimen is subjected to the pull of 10 KN in a tension


testing machine. If the allowable normal stress for the wood is 12
MPa and the allowable shear stress is 1.2 MPa, determine the
required dimensions b and t so that the specimen reaches these
stresses simultaneously. The specimen has a width of 25 mm. (Ans:
167 mm and 33.3 mm)

7. The guy wire AB of a building frame is originally


unstretched. Due to an earthquake, the two columns of the
frame tilt 2 degrees. Determine the approximate normal
strain in the wire when the frame is in this position. Assume
the columns are rigid and rotate about their lower supports.
(Ans: 16.8 milli m/m)
8. The corners B and D of the square plate are given the
displacement indicated. Determine the shear strains at A
and B. (Ans: 0.206 rad and -0.206 rad)

9. The acrylic plastic rod is 200 mm long and 15 mm in


diameter. If an axial load of 300 N is applied to it,
determine the change in its length and the change in its
diameter. 𝐸𝑃 = 2.70 𝐺𝑃𝑎, 𝜈𝑃 = 0.4. (Ans: 0.126 mm and
-0.00377 mm)

10. The elastic portion of the stress-strain diagram for a steel


alloy is shown in the figure. The specimen from which it
was obtained had an original diameter of 13 mm and a gauge
length of 50 mm. When the applied load on the specimen is
50 kN, the diameter is 12.99265mm. Determine the
Poisson’s ratio for the material. (Ans: 0.300)
