Question 2 edit

Do the results depend on the length of each segment and the Young's modulus?

Solution 2

While working to determine  , which was an equilibrium equation, the resultants were found not to be dependent on segment length or the Young's modulus because both were constants and were subsequently cancelled out. Refer to process above.

Problem Statement edit

A nylon thread is to be subjected to a 10-N tension. Knowing that E=3.2 GPa,that the maximum allowable normal stress is 40 MPa, and the length of the thread must not increase by more than 1%, determine the required diameter thread.

Solution edit

Determine maximum stress allowable with the limit in displacement being  :

 


Derive formula relating area of nylon string with ratio of displacement and original length of the string using these three relations:

 

 

 

Write Area in terms of diameter:


 

Solve equation for diameter (d):

Problem Statement edit

The brass tube AB ( ) has a cross-sectional area of   and is fitted with a plug at A. The tube is attached at B to a rigid plate that is itself attached at C to the bottom of an aluminum cylinder (E=72 GPa) with a cross-sectional area of 250mm^2. The cylinder is then hung from a support at D. In order to close the cylinder, the plug must move down through 1 mm. Determine the force P that must be applied to the cylinder.

Problem Statement edit

For the steel truss (E=29*10^6 psi) and loading shown, determine the deformations of members BD and DE, knowin that their cross-sectional areas are 2 in^2 and 3 in^2, respectively.

Solution edit

Done by method of sections. Cut off the top half of the truss by cutting midway through sections BD, DE and EG.

It is assumed that the structure is in equilibrium.

Problem Statement edit

A polystyrene rod consisting of two cylindrical portions AB and BC is restrained at both ends and supports and supports two 6-kip loads as shown. Knowing that E=0.45*10^6 psi, determine (a) the reactions at A and C, (b) the normal stress in each portion of the rod.

Solution edit

We begin by first sketching the free body diagram of the system From this diagram we can see that:

 

(1)


Next, we consider the deformation of the rod to be zero. Using equation 2.15 from the text book we see:

 

(Text 2.15)

Having been given values for all variables in the equation except P we must solve for those two forces. Substituting into the original equation we find:

 

Calculating the areas gives us:

 

 

 

(2)

Using the equations (1) and (2) we can solve for   and  

 

 

To find the normal stress we simply use formula 1.5 from the first chapter of the text:
