LE 2 Problem Set

The document contains instructions for a problem set involving mechanics of materials problems. Students are instructed to complete the problem set on yellow paper using blue or black ink, include their name and section on each page, number pages consecutively, start each problem on a new page, and box their final answers. The deadline for submission is March 5, 2019 during class hours. The problem set then lists 5 mechanics of materials problems to solve.

PROBLEM SET 2
Instructions:
1. Answer the problem set in yellow paper (8.5 in x 13 in)
2. Use only a blue or black ink pen.
3. Make sure to have written your name and section on every answer sheet, as well as
consecutive sheet numbers.
4. Start the solution to each problem on a new sheet; do NOT write at the back; and put a
box on your final answer/s.
5. Show clearly all pertinent solutions and state the assumptions made, if any. Avoid
rounding off in the middle of your solution.

Deadline:

March 5, 2019 (Thursday) during class hours.


PROBLEM 1
The solid shaft is made of material that has an allowable shear stress of 10 MPa.
Determine:
a. The required diameter of the shaft to the nearest mm.
b. The angle of twist of end E if A is fixed to a wall. Use G = 30 GPa.
PROBLEM 2
The steel shaft (G = 11E6psi) is loaded as shown. If segment AB has a diameter of 1.5in
and segment BC has a diameter of 0.75in.

Determine:
a. The reactions at A and C
b. The angle of twist at B (with respect to the fixed end A)
c. The maximum shear stress along the shaft
PROBLEM 3
A steel pipe of 100-mm diameter is to support the loading shown. Knowing that the
stock of pipes available has thicknesses varying from 6 mm to 24 mm in 3-mm
increments, and that the allowable normal stress (tension and compression) for the
steel used is 150 MPa, determine the minimum wall thickness t that can be used.

If the allowable tensile and compressive stress for the material are different such that
the allowable tensile stress is greater than the allowable compressive stress, which
stress limit will be used for design? Explain.
Problem 4
Given the loaded beam below, determine:
a. The maximum shear stress at section C
b. The maximum shear stress in the whole beam
Problem 5
The gas storage tank is fabricated by bolting together two half cylindrical thin shells and
two hemispherical shells as shown. The tank and the 25 mm diameter bolts are made
from material having an allowable normal stress of 150 MPa and 250 MPa, respectively.
The tank has an inner diameter of 4 m.

If the tank is designed to withstand a pressure of 3 MPa, determine:

a. The required minimum thickness of the cylindrical shells


b. The required minimum thickness of the hemispherical shells
c. The minimum required number of bolts for each hemispherical cap
d. The minimum required number of longitudinal bolts per meter length at each
side of the cylindrical shell.
