(Title: Simple Stress)
Prob.1
When the force P reached 8 kN, the wooden specimen shown Prob.6
failed in shear along the surface indicated by the dashed line. For the joint shown in the figure, calculate (a) the largest bearing
Determine the average shearing stress along that surface at the stress between the pin and the members; (b) the average shear
time of failure. stress in the pin; and (c) the largest average normal stress in the
members.
Prob.2
Each of the four vertical
links has an 8 3 36-mm
uniform rectangular cross
section and each of the four
pins has a 16-mm diameter. Prob.7
Determine the maximum The boom AC is a 4-in. square steel tube with a wall thickness of
value of the average normal 0.25 in. The boom is supported by the 0.5-in.-diameter pin at A,
stress in the links connecting and the 0.375-in.-diameter cable BC. The working stresses are 25
(a) points B and D, (b) points ksi for the cable, 18 ksi for the boom, and 13.6 ksi for shear in the
C and E. pin. Neglecting the weight of the boom, determine the largest safe
load P that can be applied as shown.
Prob.3
For the Pratt bridge
truss and loading
shown, determine the
average normal stress in
member BE, knowing
that the cross-sectional
area of that member is
5.87 in2.
Prob.4
The wooden members A and B are to be
joined by plywood splice plates that will be
fully glued on the surfaces in contact. As
part of the design of the joint, and knowing
that the clearance between the ends of the
members is to be 1/4 in., determine the
smallest allowable length L if the average
shearing stress in the glue is not to exceed
120 psi.
Prob.5
Two solid cylindrical rods AB and BC are
welded together at B and loaded as shown.
Knowing that the average normal stress
must not exceed 175 MPa in rod AB and
150 MPa in rod BC, determine the
smallest allowable values of d1 and d2.
