    ASSIGNMENT PROBLEMS

    1. A press working operation blanks out discs of 35mm diameter and 1.6mm thick. If the ultimate strength
    of the materials is 200 N/mm2 and the press ram can exert a maximum force of 150 KN, can we blank
    out five discs simultaneously.
    2. A tie bar has to carry a load of 120KN. What must be the width of the bar 13 mm thick if there is hole of
    20mm diameter on its centre line? The working stress for the tie bar is 75 MPa.
    3. A cylindrical bar 60mm diameter and 200mm long is fixed at one end. At the free end it is loaded as
    shown in Fig.1 with an axial load of 12 KN, a downward transverse load of 5KN and a torque of 1.4
    KN-m. Calculate the maximum stress at point P of the bar.

    4. A steel member is subjected to a 3 dimensional stress system and the resulting principal stresses are 120
    N/mm2 tension, 80 N/mm2 and 40 N/mm2. If the proportional limit of the material in simple tension is
    280 N/mm2 and its poisons ratio is 0.3. Determine the factor of safety according to
    a) Maximum Principal stress theory; b) Maximum shear stress theory.

    shaft is keyed to the drum of diameter 200mm and the wire rope is turned around it. A tangential load of 4500
    N is applied at the end of the rope. The yield stress for the shaft material is 310 MN/m2.
