Question 2

For each of the plane stress states listed below, draw a Mohr’s circle. Find the principal
normal and shear stresses and determine the angle from the x-axis to σ1 .

(a) σx = −8 MPa, σy = 7 MPa, τxy = 6 MPa cw

(b) σx = 9 MPa, σy = −6 MPa, τxy = 3 MPa cw

(c) σx = −4 MPa, σy = 12 MPa, τxy = 7 MPa ccw

Question 3

The cantilevered bar in the figure is made from a ductile material and is statically loaded
with Fy = 889.644 N and Fx = Fz = 0. Analyze the stress situation in rod AB by obtaining
the following information.

(a) Determine the precise location of the critical stress element.

(b) Sketch the critical stress element and determine magnitudes and directions for all
stresses acting on it. (Transverse shear may only be neglected if you can justify this
decision.)

(c) For the critical stress element, determine the principal stresses and the maximum shear
stress.

Question 4

A countershaft carrying two V-belt pulleys is shown in the figure. Pulley A receives to
power from a motor through a belt with the belt tensions shown. The power is transmitted
through the shaft and delivered to the belt on pulley B. Assume the belt tension on the loose
side at B is 15% of the tension on the tight side.

(a) Determine the tensions in the belt on pulley B, assuming the shaft is running at a
constant speed.

(b) Find the magnitudes of 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.

Question 5

A gear reduction unit uses the countershaft shown in the figure. Gear A receives power
to 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.
