PROBLEM SET #1

1. The polyethylene sheet is subjected to the biaxial loading shown. Determine the resulting elongations of sides AB
and AC. The properties of the polyethylene are E = 300 ksi and ν = 0.4.

2. The normal stresses at a point in a steel member σ x = 8 ksi, σy = -4ksi and σz = 10 ksi. Using E = 29 x 103 ksi and ν
= 0.3, determine the normal strains at this point.
3. Before the 400 kN load is applied, the rigid platform rests on two steel bars, each of cross -sectional area 1400 mm2,
as shown in figure. The cross-sectional area of the aluminum bar is 2800 mm 2. Compute the stress in the aluminum
bar after the 400 kN load is applied. Use E = 200 GPa for steel and E = 70 GPa for aluminum. Neglect the weight of
the platform.

4. The three steel rods, each of the cross-sectional are 250 mm2, jointly support the 7.5 kN load. Assuming that there
was no slack or stress in rods before the load was applied, find the stress in each rod. Use E = 200 GPa for steel.
5. The rigid bar of negligible weight is supported by a pin at O and two vertical rods. Assuming that the rods were
initially stress-free, what is the largest P that can be applied without e xceeding the stresses of 150 MPa in the steel
rod and 70 MPa in the bronze rod?

6. The boom AC is a 4 in square steel tube with a wall thickness of 0.25 in. The boom is supported by the 0.5 in
diameter pin at A, and the 0.375 in diameter cable BC. The working stresses are 25 ksi for the cable, 18 ksi for the
boom, and 13.6 ksi for shear in the pin. Neglecting the weight of the boom, determine the largest safe load P that
can be applied as shown.

7. The compound bar, composed of the three segments shown, is initially stress -free. Compute the stress in each
material if the temperature drops 250C. Assume that the walls do not yield and use the following data:

Bronze: Aluminum: Steel:


Area = 2000 mm2 Area = 1400 mm2 Area = 800 mm2
α = 19.0x 10-6 / 0C α = 23.0x 10-6 / 0C α = 11.7x 10-6 / 0C
E = 83 GPa E = 70 GPa E = 200 GPa
8. The strength of longitudinal joint is 33 kips/ft, whereas for the girth is 16 kips/ft. Calculate the maximum diameter of
the cylinder tank if the internal pressure is 150 psi.

9. A spherical shell with 70-in outer diameter and 67-in inner diameter contains helium at a pressure of 1200 psi.
Compute the stress in the shell.
10. A steel rod having a cross-sectional area of 300 mm 2 and a length of 150 m is suspended vertically from one end. It
supports a load of 20 kN at the lower end. If the unit mass of steel is 7850 kg/m 3 and E = 200 x 103 MN/m2, find the
total elongation of the rod.

11. The cylindrical steel column has an outer diameter of 4 in and inner diameter of 3.5 in. The column is separated
from the concrete foundation by a square bearing plate. The working compressive stress is 26000 psi for the
column, and the working bearing stress is 1200 psi for concrete. Find the largest P that can be applied to the
column.
12. Segment AB of the bar is a tube with an outer diameter of 1.5 in and a wall thickness of 0.125 in. Segm ent BC is a
solid rod of diameter of 0.75 in, Determine the normal stress in each segment.

13. The plate is welded to the end of the I-beam is fastened to the support with four 10-mm diameter bolts (two on each
side). Assuming that the load is equally divided among the bolts, determine the normal and shear stresses in a bolt.

14. The 20-mm diameter bolt fastens two wooden planks together. The nut is tightened until the tensile stress in the
bolt is 150 MPa. Find the smallest safe diameter d of the washers if the wo rking bearing stress for wood is 13 MPa.

15. The rectangular element is deformed in shear as shown. Find the shear strain. Cite process in attached file.
