Problem 2
Two plates, subjected to a tensile force of 50 kN, are fixed together by means of three
rivets as shown. The plates and rivets are made of plain carbon steel 10C4 with a tensile
yield strength of 250 N/mm2. The yield strength in shear is 50% of the tensile yield
strength, and the factor of safety is 2.5. Neglecting stress concentration, determine
(i) the diameter of the rivets
(ii) the thickness of the plates

(Since the question did not specify a certain point to calculate stress upon, solve based on
𝐹
the average stress value. Average shear stress in a rivet, 𝜏𝑎𝑣𝑔 = )

Problem 3
The dimensions of an overhang crank are given in the figure. The force P acting at the
crankpin is 1 kN. The crank is made of steel 30C8, the tensile yield strength is 𝑠𝑦𝑡 = 400
N/mm2 and the factor of safety is 2. Using maximum shear stress theory of failure,
determine the diameter d at the section – XX
