Strema 102

This document contains 17 problems related to structural engineering concepts like mechanics of deformable bodies, thermal stress, torsion, stresses in beams, thin-walled pressure vessels, combined stresses, and Mohr's circle. The problems involve calculating stresses, forces, displacements, and failures given structural dimensions, materials, and applied loads. Solutions require the use of stress/strain, mechanics of materials, and strength of materials equations.

THERMAL STRESS

1. The horizontal steel rod, 2.5 m long and


1200 mm2 in cross-sectional area, is secured
between two walls as shown in Figure. If the
rod is stress-free at 20°C, compute the stress
when the temperature has dropped to -20°C.
Assume that (1) the walls do not move and (2)
the walls move together a distance 0.5mm. Use
α=11.7x106/°C and E = 200 GPa.

2. The rigid, horizontal slab is attached to


two identical copper rods. There is a gap 0.18
mm between the middle bar, which is made of
aluminum, and the slab. Neglecting the mass of
the slab, calculate the stress in each rod
when the temperature in the assembly is
increased by 85°C. Use the following data:

3. Figure shows a 2-in.-diameter solid steel


cylinder that is built into the support at C
and subjected to the torques TA and TB. (1)
Determine the maximum shear stresses in
segments AB and BC of the cylinder; and (2)
compute the angle of rotation of end A. Use G
= 12 X 106 psi for steel.

TORSION 4. Both ends of the steel shaft are attached


to rigid supports. Find the distance a where
the torque T must be applied so that the
reactive torques at A and B are equal.
