STRENGTH of MATERIALS I

1 The bars of the truss each have a cross-


sectional area of 12.5 cm2. If the maximum
average normal stress in any bar is not to
exceed 20 MPa, determine the maximum
magnitude P of the loads that can be applied to
the truss.

2 The block is subjected to a compressive force


of 2 kN. Determine the average normal and
average shear stress developed in the wood
fibers that are oriented along section a–a at
30° with the axis of the block.

3 The wood specimen is subjected to the pull of


10 kN in a tension testing machine. If the allowable normal
stress for the wood is  t allow  12 MPa and the allowable
shear stress is  allow  1.2MPa , determine the required
dimensions b and t so that the specimen reaches these stresses
simultaneously. The specimen has a width of 25 mm.

loading shown.
a) Determine average normal stress and in-plane shear stress of the
given figure.
b) Show state of stress on an element and draw in a Mohr cicle.
c) Determine the maximum
in-plane shear stress and the
average normal stress developed in
the steel.
d) Determine the equivalent
state of stress for an element
oriented 60° clockwise from the
horizontal.
5 Stresses at a point for two different directions are given as in the
figure. If  0  100MPa ,

same point which represents (a) the principal stress, (b) the
maximum in-plane shear stress and the associated average
normal stress and (c) the coordinate system x’y’ which is

direction. Also, for each case, determine the corresponding
orientation of the element with respect to the element shown.
