1. For the following stress fields, find the principal stresses and the
maximum shear stress. Plot the Mohr’s circle for each case.
a) 𝜎𝑥 = −80 𝑀𝑃𝑎, 𝜎𝑦 = −30 𝑀𝑃𝑎, τ𝑥𝑦 = 20 𝑀𝑃𝑎
b) 𝜎𝑥 = 30 𝑀𝑃𝑎, 𝜎𝑦 = −60 𝑀𝑃𝑎, τ𝑥𝑦 = −30 𝑀𝑃𝑎
c) 𝜎𝑥 = 40 𝑀𝑃𝑎, 𝜎𝑦 = −30 𝑀𝑃𝑎, τ𝑥𝑦 = 20 𝑀𝑃𝑎
d) 𝜎𝑥 = 10 𝑘𝑝𝑠𝑖, 𝜎𝑦 = −4 𝑘𝑝𝑠𝑖
e) 𝜎𝑥 = 10 𝑘𝑝𝑠𝑖, τ𝑥𝑦 = −4 𝑘𝑝𝑠𝑖
2. For each of the following beams, find the value and location of the
maximum internal loads.
a)
b)
3. A gear reduction unit uses the countershaft shown in the figure. Gear A
receives power from another gear with the transmitted force 𝐹𝐴 applied
at the 20° pressure angle as shown. The power is transmitted through
the shaft and delivered through gear B through a transmitted force 𝐹𝐵
at the pressure angle shown.
(a) Determine the force 𝐹𝐵 , assuming the shaft is running at a constant
speed.
(b) Find the bearing reaction forces, assuming the bearings act as simple
supports.
(c) Draw shear-force and bending-moment diagrams for the shaft. If
needed, make one set for the horizontal plane and another set for the
vertical plane.
(d) At the point of maximum bending moment, determine the bending
stress and the torsional shear stress.
(e) At the point of maximum bending moment, determine the principal
stresses and the maximum shear stress.
