A rectangular plate is formed by welding two triangular plates (see figure). The plate
is subjected to a state of stress as shown in figure (2.a and 2.b).
Determine the normal stress acting perpendicular to the line of the weld and the
shear stress acting parallel to the weld. (Assume that the normal stress is positive
when it acts in tension against the weld and the shear stress is positive when it acts
counterclockwise against the weld.)
Problem 2.a
Problem 2.b
A cylindrical tank having diameter d 2.5 in. is subjected to internal gas pressure P
=600 psi and an external tensile load T= 1000 lb (see figure). Determine the
minimum thickness t of the wall of the tank based upon an allowable shear stress of
3000 psi.
A cylindrical pressure vessel having radius r=300 mm and wall thickness t=15 mm is
subjected to internal pressure P=2.5 MPa. In addition, a torque T=120 kNm acts at each
end of the cylinder (see figure).
(a) Determine the maximum tensile stress max and the maximum in-plane shear stress
max in the wall of the cylinder.
(b) If the allowable in-plane shear stress is 30 MPa, what is the maximum allowable
torque T?
A sign is supported by a pipe (see figure) having outer diameter 100mm and inner
diameter 80mm. The dimensions of the sign are 2.0m X 0.75m, and its lower edge is
3.0m above the base. Note that the center of gravity of the sign is 1.05 m from the axis
of the pipe. The wind pressure against the sign is 1.5 kPa.
Determine the maximum in-plane shear stresses due to the wind pressure on the sign at
points A, B, and C, located on the outer surface at the base of the pipe.
