Problem 1
Three forces act on the tip of a L-shaped rod with a cross-sectional radius of 0.5 in.
(a) Determine the normal and shear stress at points A and B and draw the stress cube at those points based on the given coordinate system.
(b) Determine the maximum normal stress on the cross-section and locate the point at which it occurs.
Problem 2
The simply supported solid shaft has a radius of 15 mm and is under static equilibrium. Pulley C has a diameter of 100 mm. The pulleys B and D have the same diameter as each other. The forces on pulley B are at an angle of 45 to the negative z-axis. The forces on pulley C and pulley D are in the z and -y direction. The shaft dimensions are in mm.
(a) Determine the maximum bending and torsional stresses in the shaft.
(b) Locate the point(s) on the cross-section where the bending stress is maximum.
Problem 3
The structural part of a setup to measure net belt tensions in pulleys is shown in the figure. The belt tensions at both sides of the pulley at B (radius 10 cm) are P and F=0.1*P along z and a reaction force is measured from the pulley at C (radius 2 cm), which is connected to a load cell at E with an axial member parallel to x. Pulleys are rigidly attached to rod AD, which is made with a ductile steel rod 60 cm long and 1.27 cm in diameter. Length AB=0.20 m, and length DC=0.15 m. There is a spherical hinge at A and a plane hinge at D. The latter constrains motion in the x-z plane only.
(a) Draw bending moment and torsion diagrams for this structure as functions of the unknown tension P and use them to draw a diagram of the critical section showing internal loads (bending and torsion moments) and the critical points.
(b) Use your results from part a to determine the maximum normal stress due to bending and the maximum shear stress due to torsion in terms of the unknown tension P. Calculate the maximum value that P can have if only bending stresses are considered (with σallow = 350 MPa) and then if only torsion stresses are considered (with τallow = 175 MPa).
