Week 5 Example Problems

The document outlines a statics problem involving a crank with a 300 N force causing twisting and bending of a 0.75 cm-diameter shaft. It includes tasks to draw free-body diagrams, compute forces and moments, and calculate maximum bending and shear stresses for members AB and BC. Additionally, it details the stress components acting on a stress element at the top surface of the shaft.

Example – Crank

Figure shows a crank loaded by a force F = 300 N that


causes twisting and bending of a 0.75 cm-diameter
shaft fixed to a support at the origin of the reference
system. Consider this as a statics problem.

Example – Crank

(a) Draw separate free-body diagrams of the shaft


AB and the arm BC, and compute the values of all
forces, moments, and torques that act. Label the
directions of the coordinate axes on these
diagrams.
(b) For member BC, compute the maximum bending
stress and the maximum shear stress associated
with the applied torsion and transverse loading.
Indicate where these stresses act.
(c) Locate a stress element on the top surface of the
shaft at A, and calculate all the stress
components that act upon this element.

At end C of arm BC: F = −300j N, TC = −450k N ·cm


At end B of arm BC: F = 300j N, M1 = 1200i N ·cm , T1 = 450k N ·cm
At end B of shaft AB: F = −300j N, T2 = −1200i N ·cm , M2 = −450k N ·cm
At end A of shaft AB: F = 300j N, MA = 1950k N ·cm , TA = 1200i N ·cm
(b) For member BC, compute the maximum bending stress and
the maximum shear stress associated with the applied torsion
and transverse loading. Indicate where the stresses act.
• The bending moment will reach a maximum near the shaft at
B but not exactly correct. The moment at B is actually being
transferred into the shaft.

• A transverse shear stress exists at the same location and in


the same direction on the visible side of BC, hence they are
additive. On the opposite side, they subtract.
