ME 212 Tutorial 8

This document summarizes problems from a tutorial on solid mechanics covering torsion, mixed loading, stresses, deflections, and composite beams. It includes 5 problems: 1) determining twist angles for a twisted tube and rod, 2) calculating stresses in a semi-circular bar under self-weight, 3) finding a spring constant for equal load sharing, 4) calculating deflection including shear effect, and 5) determining maximum tensile stresses in a composite beam. Diagrams are provided for visualization.

Tutorial-8
(Torsion and Mixed Loading problem)

1. A hollow circular tube A fits over the end of a solid circular rod B as shown in Fig. 1. A
hole through rod B makes an angle 3radians with a line through two holes in tube A
as shown. Rod B is twisted until the holes in tube A and rod B are aligned and then a pin is
placed through the holes and the system is left to deform. Determine the final angles of twist
of the tube A and the rod B. For tube A and rod B use data: polar moment of inertia Ja = 10
x 10-4 m4, Jb = 2.5 x 10-4 m4; lengths La = 2500 mm, Lb = 2000 mm.

2. A semi-circular bar AB lying in a horizontal plane is supported at B as shown in Fig. 2.
Thus the self-weight of the bar acts into the plane of the paper. The bar has centerline radius
R = 100 mm and self-weight q = 25 N/m. The cross-section of the bar is circular with
diameter d = 20 mm. Determine the maximum tensile stress t , the maximum compressive
stress c , and the maximum shear stress max at point P lying on the top of the bar at the
support as shown in the cross-section figure. Also show the original stress element (block),
the principal stress element and the maximum shear stress element, with proper relative
orientations. The center of gravity of the bar is at point C at a distance c = 2R/

3. For the beam and loading shown, determine the spring constant k for which the force in the
spring is equal to one-third of the total load on the beam.

4. Find the deflection at the location where P is acting (Fig. 4). Include the effect of shear in
calculating the deflection. Determine the percentage contribution of shear in the total
deflection. Use the form factor k as 6/5.

5. The cross-section of a perfectly bonded composite beam is made up of aluminum and steel
as shown in Fig.5. Youngs modulus of aluminum and steel are 40 GPa and 80 GPa
respectively. Calculate the maximum tensile bending stresses in steel and aluminum.
