Practice Problem Set 1 (Simple Stress)

1. A hollow steel tube with an inside diameter of 100 mm must


carry a tensile load of 400 kN. Determine the outside
diameter of the tube if the stress is limited to
120 MN/m2.
P=σA
where:
P=400kN=400000N
σ=120MPa
A=14πD2−14π(1002)
A=14π(D2−10000)

400000=120[14π(D2−10000)]
400000=30πD2−300000π
D2=400000+300000π
30π
D=119.35 mm
2. A homogeneous 800 kg bar AB is supported at either end by
a cable as shown in Fig. P-105. Calculate the smallest area
of each cable if the stress is not to exceed 90 MPa in bronze
and 120 MPa in steel.

By symmetry:
Pbr=Pst=12(7848)
Pbr=3924 N
Pst=3924 N

For bronze cable:


Pbr=σbrAbr
3924=90Abr
Abr=43.6mm2

For steel cable:


Pst=σstAst
3924=120Ast
Ast=32.7mm2
3. For the truss shown in Fig. P-111, calculate the stresses in
members CE, DE, and DF. The cross-sectional area of each
member is 1.8 in2. Indicate tension (T) or compression (C).

From the FBD of the truss:

ΣMA=0
24RF=16(30)
RF=20k

At joint F:

ΣFV=0
35DF=20
DF=3313k(Compression)

At joint D:
By symmetry
BD=DF=3313k(Compression)

ΣFV=0
DE=35BD+35DF
DE=35(3313)+35(3313)
DE=40k(Tension)

At joint E:
ΣFV=0
35CE+30=40
CE=1623k(Tension)
Stresses: (Stress = Force/Area)
σCE=16231.8=9.26ksi (Tension)

σDE=401.8=22.22ksi (Tension)

σDF=33131.8=18.52ksi (Compression)
4. Figure P-130 shows a roof truss and the detail of the riveted
connection at joint B. Using allowable stresses τ = 70MPa for
shear and σb = 140MPa for bearing, how many 19mm
diameter rivets are required to fasten BC to the gusset
plate? What is the largest tensile stress developed?

At Joint C:

ΣFV=0

BC=96kN (Tension)

Consider the section through member BD, BE, and CE:

ΣMA=0

8(35BE)=4(96)

BE=80kN (Compression)

For Member BC:

Based on shearing of rivets:

BC=τA Where A = area of 1 rivet × number of rivets, n

96000=70[14π(192)n]

n=4.8 say 5 rivets


Based on bearing of member:

BC=σbAb Where Ab = rivet diameter × thickness of BC × n rivets

96000=140[19(6)n]

n=6.02 say 7 rivets

Use 7 rivets for member BC.

For member BE:

Based on shearing of rivets:

BE=τA Where A = area of 1 rivet × number of rivets, n

80000=70[14π(192)n]

n=4.03

say 5 rivets

Based on bearing of member:

BE=σbAb Where Ab = rivet diameter × thickness of BE × n rivet

80000=140[19(13)n]

n=2.3 say 3 rivets

Use 5 rivets for member BE.

Tensile stress of member BC (L75 × 75 × 6):

σ=PA=96(1000)864−19(6)

σ=128Mpa

Compressive stress of member BE (L75 × 75 × 13):

σ=PA=80(1000)1780

σ=44.94Mpa
