Homework No. 1: Department of Strength of Materials and Vibrations Faculty of Mechanical Engineering

This document contains instructions for 4 homework problems related to strength of materials and vibrations. Problem 1 involves calculating principal stresses and drawing a neutral axis for a bar with 3 applied forces. Problem 2 involves determining the required diameter of a bracket given allowable normal stress and 2 applied forces. Problem 3 involves determining the minimum shaft diameter given allowable shear stress, power transmitted, and wheel diameters. Problem 4 involves calculating maximum stress at a fixed connection using V-th strength theory for a component with 2 applied forces.

1.1
Three forces are applied to the bar as shown in figure 1. Knowing that the bar
has a cross section of b×h = 30×60 mm2 (l = 500 mm), determine the principal
stresses ( σ max and σ min ) and the equation of the neutral axis. Try also to make a
qualitative representation of the neutral axis. The given values of forces are: F1 =
(30k + 100) N, F2 = [20k(-1)k + 200] N and F3 = (10k(-1)k + 300) N, where k is your
group number.

1.2
Forces are applied at point B of the solid cast-iron bracket shown. Knowing the
allowable normal stress of the cast-iron, determine the required diameter of the
bracket using the maximum shear stress theory. Please consider two separate cases
when the effect of axial load is taken/not taken into account. The given values of
forces as: F1 = (30k(-1)k + 100) N, F2 = (20k(-1)k + 200) N, where k is your group
number.

1.3
The solid shaft AB rotate at 450 rpm and transmits a power P between the two
bent wheels 1 and 2. Knowing that τ all = 55 MPa, determine the smallest permissible
diameter of shaft AB using the maximum shear stress theory. Take the given value of
power P = (k + 20) KW, where k is your group number, D1 = 100 mm and D2 = 250
mm.

1.4

Two forces are applied to the machine component as shown. Knowing that the
cross section is a 20x40 mm rectangle, determine the maximum value of stress at the
fixed connection (the most dangerous section) using the V-th strength theory. The
given values of forces are: P1 = (30k(-1)k + 100) N, P2 = (20k(-1)k + 200) N, where k
is your group number.
