Simple Stress

This document contains 6 mechanics of materials problems involving concepts like stress, strain, modulus of elasticity, deformation of materials under load. The problems cover axial loading of rods and beams, direct shear testing of wood, stresses in riveted joints, and thermal expansion of multi-material structures. Solutions require using stress-strain and material property relationships.

P produces shear in the specimen along plane AB. The height h of the plane AB is 50mm and its width (perpendicular to the
plane of drawing) is 100mm. If the load P = 16kN, what is the average shear stress in the wood? Express the answer in MPa.

PROBLEM 2. In the figure shown, three tubes are subjected to the loads as indicated. The diameters of the tubes are d1 =

(b) the stress (Mpa) in each tube.
