    Tutorial 1 - Stresses and equilibrium

    l. Each of the four vertical links has an 8 x 36 mm uniform rectangular cross section
    and each of the four pins has a 16-mm diameter. Determine the maximum value of
    the average normal stress in the links connecting (a) points Band D, (b)points C
    and E.

    2. The frame shown consists of four wooden members, ABC, DEF, BE and CF.
    Knowing that each member has a 2 x 4-in. rectangular cross-section and that each
    pin has a l /2-in. diameter, determine the maximum value of the average normal
    stress (a) in member BE, (b) in member CF. ·
    (Ans. (a)-281 psi (b) 107.1 psi)

    3. Two hydraulic cylinders are used lo control the position of the robotic ann ABC.
    Knowing that the control rods attached at A and D each have a 20-mm diameter
    and happen to be parallel in the position shown, detemiine the average normal
    stress in (a) member AE, (b) member DO.
    (Ans. (a) 12.73 MPa, (b) -4.77 MPa)

    4. Determine the diameter of the largest circular hole that can be punched into a sheet
    of polystyrene 6 mm thick, knowing that the force exerted by the punch is 45 kN
    and that a 55 MPa average shearing stress is required to cause the material to fail.
    (Ans. 43.4 mm)
    5. A load P is applied to a s teel rod supported as shown by an aluminum plate into
    which a 0.6-in. diameter hole has been drilled. Knowing that the shearing stress
    must not exceed 18 ksi in the steel rod and 10 ksi in the aluminum plate, determine
    the largest load P that may be applied to the rod.
    (Ans. 12.57 kips)

    6. An axial load P is supported by a short W250 x 67 column of cross-sectional area


    A=8580 mm2 and is distributed to a concrete foundation by a square plate as s
    hown. Knowing that the average normal stress in the column must not exceed 150
    MPa and that the bearing stress on the concrete foundation must not exceed 12.5
    MPa, determine the side a of the plate that will provide the most economical and
    safe design.
    (Ans. 321mm)
    7. Link AB, of width b=2 in. and thickness t=l/4 in., is used to support the end of a
    horizontal beam. Knowing that the average normal stress in the link is -20 ksi and
    that the average shearing stress in each of the two pins is 12 ksi, detem,ine (a) the
    diameter d of the pins, (b) the average bearing stress in the link.

    8. For the assembly and loading of Prob.I, determine (a) the average shearing stress
    in the pin at C, (b) the average bearing stress at C in link CE, (c) the average
    bearing stress at C in member ABC, knowing that this member has a 10 x 50 mm
    uniform rectangular cross section.
    (Ans. (a) 31.l MPa, (b) 46.8 MPa, (c) 78.1 MPa)
