Strength of Materials Assignment One

The document outlines a series of problems related to the strength of materials, including calculations for stress, strain, and dimensions of various structural components under different loads. It covers topics such as determining internal diameters of columns, calculating forces in composite bars, and analyzing changes in dimensions and volume due to applied loads. The problems involve using material properties like Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio to solve engineering challenges.

STRENGTH OF MATERIALS ASSIGNMENT ONE

1. The ultimate stress for a hollow steel column which carries an axial load of 2 MN is 500 N/mm2.
If the external diameter of the column is 250 mm, determine the internal diameter. Take the
factor of safety as 3.5.

2. A member formed by connecting a steel bar to an


aluminium bar is shown in Fig. 1.27. Assuming that the bars
are prevented from buckling sideways, calculate the
magnitude of force P, that will cause the total length of the
member to decrease 0.30 mm. The values of elastic
modulus for steel and aluminium are 2 x 105 N/mm2 and 6.5
x 105 N/mm2 respectively.

3. The bar shown in Fig. 1.28 is subjected to a tensile load of 150kN. If the stress in the middle
portion is limited to 160 N/mm2, determine the diameter of the middle portion. Find also the
length of the middle portion if the total elongation of the bar is to be 0.30 cm. Young's modulus
is given as equal to 2.0 x 105 N/mm2.

4. The composite bar shown in the figure below is subjected to a tensile force of 30kN. The
extension observed is 0.402 mm. Find the Young's modulus of brass, if Young's modulus of steel
is 2 x 105 N/mm2.
5. A member with square cross sections ABCD is subjected to loads P1, P2, P3 and P4 as shown in
the figure below. Calculate the force P3 necessary for equilibrium if P1= 120kN, P2= 220kN, and
P4= 160kN. Determine the stress in each section and also the net change in the length of the
member. Take E=2.1x105 N/mm2.

6. A steel rod of cross-sectional area 1600 mm2 and


two brass rods each of cross-sectional area of
1000 mm2 together support a load of 50kN as
shown in Fig. 1.31.

Find the stresses in the rods. Take E for steel =


5 2 5 2
2 x 10 N/mm and E for brass = 1 x 10 N/mm .
7. A steel rod 5 cm diameter and 6 m long is connected to two grips and the rod is maintained at a
temperature of 1000C. Determine the stress and pull exerted when the temperature falls to 200C
if
(i) the ends do not yield, and
(ii) the ends yield by 0.15 cm. Take E = 2 x 105 N/mm2 and a= 12 x 10-6 / 0C.

8. Determine the changes in length, breadth and thickness of a steel bar which is 5 m long, 40 mm
wide and 30 mm thick and is subjected to an axial pull of 45kN in the direction of its length.

Take E = 2 x 105 N/mm2 and Poisson's ratio= 0.32.

For the above problem, determine the volumetric strain, the final volume and bulk modulus of
the given steel bar.

9. A steel bar 320 mm long, 40 mm wide and 30 mm thick is subjected to a pull of 250kN in the
direction of its length. Determine the change in volume. Take E = 2 x 105 N/mm2 and  = 0.25.

10. A metallic bar 250 mm x 80 mm x 30 mm is subjected to a force of 20kN (tensile), 30kN (tensile)
and 15 kN (tensile) along x, y and z directions respectively. Determine the change in the volume
of the block. Take E = 2 x 105 N/mm2 and Poisson's ratio= 0.25.

11. A metallic bar 300 mm x 120 mm x 50 mm is loaded as shown in Fig. 2.15.

Find the change in volume. Take E = 2 x 105 N/mm2 and Poisson's ratio = 0.30.

Calculate the bulk modulus and modulus of rigidity.
