Problem Set 1

This document appears to be a problem set for a mechanics of deformable bodies course. It contains 5 practice problems involving determining stresses in various mechanical systems under applied loads. The problems include calculating stresses in steel bars, members of a pin-connected truss, wires supporting flower pots, a pressurized cylindrical tank, and a pressurized pipe with an end cap.

Section : __________

1. Loads are applied with rigid bearing plates to a


system of steel bars, as shown in the figure. The cross-
sectional areas are 16 in2 for bar AB, 4 in2 for bar BC,
and 12 in2 for bar CD. Determine the normal stress on
a typical cross section in each of the bars.

4. The cylindrical tank with a spherical end-cap has an


outer radius of 2 m and a wall thickness of 25 mm. If
the tank is pressurized to 1.5 MPa, determine the
longitudinal and circumferential stresses in the
cylinder, and the stress in the end-cap.

2. A pin-connected truss is loaded and supported as


shown in the figure. Determine the normal stresses in
members CD, DF, and EF if they have the same cross-
sectional area equal to 624 mm2.

5. The pipe carrying steam at 3.5 MPa has an outer


diameter of 450 mm and a wall thickness of 10 mm. A
gasket is inserted between the flange at one end of the
pipe, and a flat plate is used to cap the end. (a) How
many 40-mm-diameter bolts must be used to hold the
cap on if the allowable stress in the bolts is 80 MPa, of
which 55 MPa is the initial stress? (b) What
circumferential stress is developed in the pipe?

3. Two flower pots, shown in the figure, are supported


with steel wires of equal diameter. Pot A weighs 10 lb
and pot B weighs 8 lb. Determine the minimum
required diameter of the wires if the normal stress in
the wires must not exceed 18 ksi.
