A punch of diameter d = 20 mm
is used to make holes in an
Aluminum plate of thickness t = 4
mm. If the ultimate shear stress
for Aluminum is 275 MPa,
estimate the force P required for
punching through the plate.
Solution
d = 20 mm
max = 275 MPa = 275 N/mm
Shearing area= dt = x 20 x 4 mm So, Total Load = 275 x x 20 x 4 = 69.12 kN

Problem-8
An Aluminum bar is attached to its

support by a 16 mm diameter pin, as
shown in the figure. The thickness t
of the bar is 15 mm, and its width b is
40 mm. If the allowable tensile
normal stress in the bar is 85 MPa,
find the allowable load P.
Solution
d = 16 mm
Effective area in tension = (40-16)x15 = 360 mm
t = 15 mm
Maximum tensile stress in bar = = N/mm2
Allowable tensile normal stress = 85 MPa b = 40 mm

plates at the section where no holes occur;
(b) the average normal stress at the critical
section; (c) the average shear stress in the
bolts and (d) the average bearing stress
between the bolts and the plates.

timber support by an annular washer. The diameter of
the rod is 22 mm and the inner diameter of the washer
is 25 mm, which is slightly larger than the diameter of

diameters are attached at A and C and support
a weight W. The ultimate strength of the rods is
800 MPa. Rods AB and BC have cross-sectional
areas of 200 mm2 and 400 mm2 respectively. If
the factor of safety is 2, what weight W can be

member hanging from the ceiling. The
ultimate strength of the wood used is 60 MPa

ultimate strength of the steel is 145 MPa in
shear. Knowing that b = 40 mm, c = 55 mm,

overall factor of safety is 3.2.
