Strength II, Worksheet on Chapter 02 and 03

1. A circular shaft consists of two portions BC and CD of the same material and same length, but of
different cross sections (Fig. 2.19). Determine the strain energy of the shaft when it is
subjected to a twisting couple T at end D, expressing the result in terms of T, L, G, the polar
moment of inertia J of the smaller cross section, and the ratio a of the two diameters.

2. During a routine manufacturing operation, rod AB must acquire an elastic strain energy of 12J.
Using E = 200 GPa, determine the required yield strength of the steel if the factor of safety
with respect to permanent deformation is to be five.

3. (a) Taking into account only the effect of normal stresses due to bending, determine the strain
energy of the prismatic beam AB for the loading shown. (b) Evaluate the strain energy, knowing
that the beam is a W 250 x 67, P = 180 kN, L = 3.6 m, a = 0.9 m, b = 2.7 m and E = 200 GPa.

4. A body of mass m moving with a velocity vo hits the end B of the non-uniform rod BCD (Fig.
2.23). Knowing that the diameter of portion BC is twice the diameter of portion CD, determine
the maximum value σm of the stress in the rod.
5. A block of mass m moving with a velocity Vo hits squarely the prismatic member AB at its
midpoint C (Fig. 2.28). Determine (a) the equivalent static load Pm, (b) the maximum stress σm in
the member, and (c) the maximum deflection xm at point C.

6. Determine the reactions at the supports for the prismatic beam and loading shown below using
Castigliano’s theorem and compare with that of superposition (force method)?

7. A load P is supported at B by three rods of the same material and the same cross-sectional area
A and Determine the force in each rod using both methods?
