Tutorial Sheet 3

This document is a tutorial sheet for bending and shear stresses, and torsion. It contains 12 practice problems related to stresses in beams, shafts, and other mechanical components under different loading conditions. The problems are analyzed using formulas for stress, shear, bending moment, torque, and other mechanical relationships. Diagrams illustrate the setup for each problem, and the answers give the calculated stresses or required dimensions.

1. A frame travels horizontally with an acceleration ao (Fig. 1). Obtain a formula for the maximum stress
 max in the vertical arm AB, which had length L, thickness t, and mass density  .
3  L2ao
Ans:  max =

2. A cantilever beam with a rectangular cross section has a longitudinal hole drilled throughout its length (Fig.
2). The beam supports a load P = 600 N. The cross section is 25 mm wide and 50 mm high, and the hole has
a diameter of 10 mm. Find the bending stresses at the top of the beam, at the top of the hole, and at the
bottom of the beam. Ans:  top = 25.1 MPa ;  bottom = −23.5 MPa ;  hole = 17.8 MPa
3. A small dam of height h = 304 mm is constructed of vertical wood beams AB, as shown in Fig. 3. The
wood beams, which have thickness t = 64 mm are simply supported by horizontal steel beams at A and B.
Construct a graph showing the maximum bending stress  max in the wood beams versus the depth of the
water d above the lower support at B. Plot the stress  max as the ordinate and the depth d (mm) as the
abscissa. (Note: The weight density of water equals 1000 kg/m3)

free end. The beam is made of steel with an allowable bending stress of  allow = 60 MPa . Determine the
required diameter (d) of the beam, considering the effect of the beam’s own weight (weight density of steel
