Homework 11

This document contains 3 homework problems related to stress and failure analysis of mechanical structures: 1) The first problem asks the student to check if given functions are valid Airy stress functions for a rectangular plate, and if so, to determine the stress components and necessary boundary tractions. 2) The second problem involves determining the pressure between two cylinders joined by shrink fitting, where the inner cylinder has a slightly larger diameter than the outer cylinder. The pressure is to be found as a function of the shrinkage amount, cylinder dimensions, modulus of elasticity, and Poisson's ratio. 3) The third problem examines a hollow cylinder under internal pressure and torque loading. The student is asked to determine the relationship between pressure

Problem 1.
Consider a rectangular plate of length l, width h, and unit thickness. Assume that 1 and h are
very large compared to the thickness and that there are no body forces.
Check whether the following functions are valid Airy stress functions.

If so,

1) Determine all stress components.
2) Find the necessary tractions on all plate boundaries and draw them.



Problem 2.

An effective way to join two cylinders one inside the other is by shrink-fit. For this purpose the
outside diameter of the inner cylinder 2b
0
is chosen to be larger than the inner diameter 2b of the
outer cylinder by a small amount 2e. Thus, b
0
=b+e; e<<b.
The magnitude of e is usually such that when the outside cylinder is heated appropriately and the
inner cylinder is cooled, the two cylinders will fit one inside the other without interference
(friction). Upon temperature equilibration a large pressure builds up between the two cylinders.
Let c/b=
1
, b
0
/a = b/a =
2
, where 2a is the inner diameter of the inner cylinder and 2c is the
outer diameter of the outer cylinder.
Find the pressure between the two cylinders as a function of e, b,
1
,
2
, E and v. Assume that
plain strain conditions apply.

Problem 3.
A hollow cylinder is subjected to internal pressure p and torque T as shown below (assume
plane strain). The tensile strength of the cylinder material is o
0
. If failure occurs on one of the
cylindrical surfaces when the maximum principal stress reaches o
0
, find the relationship between
p and T at failure, and determine where the maximum principal stress reaches o
0
. Consider the
following special cases:
(a) T=0, p = 0;
(b) T = 0, p=0;
