Subject: Static Failure
1- A flat part with constant thickness b is loaded in tension as shown in Fig. 6.3(a). The
height changes from 50 to 100mm with a radius r=10mm. Find how much higher a load
can be transmitted through the bar if the height increases from 50 to 70 mm and the radius
decreases from 10 to 3mm.
2- A flat steel plate is axially loaded as shown in sketch a has two holes for electric cables. The
holes are situated beside each other and each has a diameter d. To make it possible to draw more
cables, the holes are placed with one hole having twice the diameter 2d, as shown in sketch b.
Assume that the ratio of diameter to width is d/b=0.2 for the two-hole plate. Which plate will fail
first?

3- The shaft shown in sketch c is subjected to tensile, torsional, and bending loads. Determine the
principal stresses at the location of stress concentration
4- A steel plate with dimensions shown in sketch d is subjected to a 150kN tensile force and
300Nm bending moment. The plate is made of AISI 1080 steel and is kept at 20°C. A
hole is to be punched in the center of the plate. What is the maximum diameter of the
hole for a safety factor of 1.5?
5- A machine element is loaded so that the principal normal stresses at the critical location for a
biaxial stress state are 1=20ksi and 2=-15ksi. The material is ductile with a yield strength of 60ksi.
Find the safety factor according to:
a) The maximum shear stress theory (MSST)
b) The distortion-energy theory (DET)

7- The rod shown in sketch i is made of AISI 1040 steel and has two 90_ bends. Use the MSST
and the DET to determine the minimum rod diameter for a safety factor of 2 at the most critical
section

8- The figure is a schematic drawing of a countershaft that supports two V-belt pulleys.
For each pulley, the belt tensions are parallel. For pulley A consider the loose belt tension
is 15 percent of the tension on the tight side. A cold-drawn UNS G10180 steel shaft of
uniform diameter is to be selected for this application. For a static analysis with a factor
of safety of 3.0, determine the minimum preferred size diameter. Use the distortion-
energy theory.
9- The shaft shown in Figure P5–28 is supported by bearings at each end, which have bores
of 20.0 mm. Design the shaft to carry the given load if it is steady and the shaft is stationary.
Make the dimension a as large as possible while keeping the stress safe. Determine the
required diameter in the middle portion. The maximum fillet permissible is 2.0 mm. Use
SAE 1137 cold-drawn steel. Use a design factor of 3.
