Module 1 - Solved Problems

This document contains problems related to normal stress, shearing stress, bearing stress, and thin-walled pressure vessels. The problems involve calculating stresses, forces, diameters, thicknesses, and pressures given various structural dimensions and load limits. Solutions require using stress formulas and relationships between loads, areas, materials properties and dimensions of beams, bolts, plates, vessels and other basic mechanical elements.

NORMAL STRESS

1. A hollow steel tube with an inside diameter of 100mm must carry a tensile load of
400 kN. Determine the outside diameter of the tube if the stress is limited to 120
MN/m2.

2. A homogeneous 800 kg bar AB is supported at either end by a cable as shown in Fig.P-105.


Calculate the smallest area of each cable if the stress is not to exceed 90 MPa in bronze and
120 MPa in steel.
3. The homogeneous bar shown in Fig. P-106 is supported by a smooth pin at C and a
cable that runs from A to B around the smooth peg at D. Find the stress in the cable
if its diameter is 0.6 inch and the bar weighs 6000 lb.
4. An aluminum rod is rigidly attached between a steel rod and a bronze rod as shown
in Fig. P-108. Axial loads are applied at the positions indicated. Find the maximum
value of P that will not exceed a stress in steel of 140 MPa, in aluminum of 90 MPa,
or in bronze of 100 MPa.
SHEARING STRESS
1. What force is required to punch a 20-mm-diameter hole in a plate that is 25 mm
thick? The shear strength is 350 MN/m2
2. Find the smallest diameter bolt that can be used in the clevis shown in Fig. 1-11b
if P = 400 kN. The shearing strength of the bolt is 300 MPa.
3. Compute the shearing stress in the pin at B for the member supported as shown
in Fig. P-119. The pin diameter is 20 mm.
BEARING STRESS
1. In Fig. 1-12, assume that a 20-mm-diameter rivet joins the plates that are each 110
mm wide. The allowable stresses are 120 MPa for bearing in the plate material and 60
MPa for shearing of rivet. Determine (a) the minimum thickness of each plate; and (b)
the largest average tensile stress in the plates.
2. The lap joint shown in Fig. P-126 is fastened by four ¾-in.-diameter rivets. Calculate
maximum safe load P that can be applied if the shearing stress in the rivets is limited
to 14 ksi and the bearing stress in the plates is limited to 18 ksi. Assume the applied
load is uniformly distributed among the four rivets.

3. In the clevis shown in Fig. 1-11b, find the minimum bolt diameter and the minimum
thickness of each yoke that will support a load P = 14 kips without exceeding a
shearing stress of 12 ksi and a bearing stress of 20 ksi.
THIN-WALLED PRESSURE VESSELS
1. The wall thickness of a 4-ft-diameter spherical tank is 5/16 inch. Calculate the
allowable internal pressure if the stress is limited to 8000 psi.

2. Calculate the minimum wall thickness for a cylindrical vessel that is to carry a gas
at a pressure of 1400 psi. The diameter of the vessel is 2 ft, and the stress is limited
to 12 ksi.

3. The strength of longitudinal joint in Fig. 1-17 is 33 kips/ft, whereas for the girth is
16 kips/ft. Calculate the maximum diameter of the cylinder tank if the internal
pressure is 150 psi.
