    THIS EXAMINATION PAPER CONSISTS OF (3) PRINTED PAGES ONLY


    QUESTION 1

    An external pressure of 10 MPa is applied to a closed-end thick cylinder of internal diameter 160 mm
    and external diameter 320 mm. The maximum hoop stress permitted on the inside wall of the cylinder
    is limited to 30 MPa. The cylinder has the mechanical properties of E = 207 GPa and v = 0.3.
    a) What is the maximum internal pressure that can be applied?
    b) Determine the maximum shearing stress (absolute) in the cylinder.
    c) Calculate the change in outside diameter when the pressures are applied.
    (10 marks)

    QUESTION 2

    a) Draw the stress-strain diagram for:


    i. perfectly plastic material,
    ii. elastic strain-hardening material.
    (1 mark)

    b) Figure Q2 (a) shows a simply supported beam ABCD under two point loadings at B and C,
    respectively. The SYMMETRICAL cross-section of the beam is shown in Figure Q2 (b). The
    beam is made of aluminium that behaves linearly-elastic perfectly-plastic with yield strength
    150 MPa and modulus of elasticity 70 GPa. Find the value of P that causes the TOTAL DEPTH
    of the plastic zone to be 10 mm at the most critical location.

    QUESTION 3

    a) State 4 (four) realistic assumptions when analyzing a structure using Energy Methods.
    (2 marks)

    b) Figure Q3 shows an overhead crane system. The overhead crane is carrying a total load (steel coil)
    of 5000 kg. Given that:
    E = 200 GPa
    I = 275 × 106 mm4
    A = 9510 mm2

     = 0.32

    By using Castigliano’s theorem and neglect the strain energy due to shear force, determine the
    VERTICAL displacement at the CENTER of the main beam. Neglect the weight of the beam and
    the crab.
