Quiz Title: Theories of Failure


Question# 01: (CLO-2, PLO-3, C-5) [30]
A certain force F applied at D near the end of the 15-in lever shown in the accompanying figure, which is
quite like a socket wrench, results in certain stresses in the cantilevered bar OABC. This bar (OABC) is
made from a ductile material AISI 1035 carbon steel, forged and heat-treated so that it has a minimum
(ASTM) yield strength of 81 kpsi. We presume that this component would be of no value after yielding.
Thus, the force F required to initiate yielding can be regarded as the strength of the component part.
a) Analyze the forces distributed along the bar segments of DC-CB-BA-AO.
b) Determine the precise location of the critical stress element at the cross-section A.
c) Sketch the critical stress element and determine magnitude and directions for all stresses acting on
it, considering stress concentration factor.
d) For the critical stress element, determine the principal stresses and the maximum shear.
e) Based on the yield failure strength criteria for ductile materials (Maximum Shear Stress Theory
and Maximum Distortion Energy Theory), find the minimum static force F to initiate yielding.
f) Based on the results obtained in part (e), evaluate both tested failure theories and recommend
g) If a static force Fy = 250 lbf downwards, what is the safety factor in terms of yielding?
