STRENGTH of MATERIALS I

1 The material for the 50-mm-long specimen has


the stress–strain diagram shown. If P=150kN is
applied and then released, determine the
permanent elongation of the specimen.

2 a) The rigid pipe is supported by a pin at A and an A-36


steel guy wire BD. If the wire has a diameter of 10 mm.,
determine how much it stretches when a load of P=6 kN
acts on the pipe.
b) The rigid pipe is supported by a pin at A and an A-36
guy wire BD. If the wire has a diameter of 10 mm,
determine the load P if the end C is displaced 1.5 mm.
downward.
E=200 Gpa.

The stress–strain diagram for a bone is shown


3
and can be described by the equation

 = 0.45(10−6 ) + 0.36(10−12 ) 3
Where  is in kPa. Determine the modulus of
toughness and the amount of elongation of a
200-mmlong region just before it fractures if
failure occurs at 𝜀 = 0.12.

4 A shear spring is made from two blocks of rubber,


each having a height h, width b, and thickness a. The
blocks are bonded to three plates as shown. If the
plates are rigid and the shear modulus of the rubber is
G, determine the displacement of plate A if a vertical
load P is applied to this plate. Assume that the
displacement is small.
5 A solid circular rod that is 600 mm long and 20 mm
in diameter is subjected to an axial force of P=50
kN. The elongation of the rod is 𝛿 = 1.40 𝑚𝑚, and
its diameter becomes 𝑑 ′ = 19.9837 𝑚𝑚. Determine
the modulus of elasticity and the modulus of rigidity
of the material. Assume that the material does not
yield.

6
State of stress at a point of a structural member
is shown in the figure. Determine the state of
strain at that point.

7 The strut is supported by a pin at C and an


A-36 steel guy wire AB. If the wire has a
diameter of 0.2 cm., determine how m uch it
stretches when the distributed load acts on the
strut.
E= 200 GPa

8 The elastic portion of the stress–strain diagram


for a steel alloy is shown in the figure. The
specimen from which it was obtained had an
original diameter of 13 mm and a gauge length
of 50 mm. When the applied load on the
specimen is 50 kN, the diameter is 12.99265
mm. Determine Poisson’s ratio for the material.
9 A steel cuboid with a quadratic base area
(h= 60 mm, a = 40 mm) fits in the unloaded state
exactly into an opening with rigid walls (there is no gap
between steel member and the walls at unloaded
state). Determine the change of height of the cuboid
when it is loaded by the force F = 160 kN. Assume that
the force F is uniformly distributed across the top
surface and that the cuboid can slide without friction
along the contact faces.

Side view Hint: If a support or surface prevents the elongation or contraction


of a member, a support reaction is form at that support or surface.

Top view

10 Two prismatic members made of steel and


aluminum are placed such that they fit in the
unloaded state exactly into an opening with
rigid walls except x-direction (there is no gap
between members and the rigid walls at
unloaded state and there are no walls at the x-
direction). A 2000 𝑘𝑁 force is applied only to
the steel member from the top (parallel to z-
axis) and two 1000 𝑘𝑁 forces are applied only
to the aluminum member from both sides
(parallel to x-azis) (forces are equally
distributed to the surface of the member).
a) Find the stresses for both steel and
aluminum members.
b) Find the change in the height of the steel,
(𝛿𝑧 )𝑠𝑡 , and the change in the width of the
aluminum, (𝛿𝑥 )𝑎𝑙 .
c) Check the yielding of the steel member
using max-shear-stress theory and the yielding
of the aluminum member using max-distortion-
energy theory.
Use 𝐸𝑠𝑡 = 200 𝐺𝑃𝑎, 𝐸𝑎𝑙 = 73 𝐺𝑃𝑎,
𝐺𝑠𝑡 = 80 𝐺𝑃𝑎, 𝐺𝑎𝑙 = 27 𝐺𝑃𝑎,
(𝜎𝑦 )𝑠𝑡 = 250 𝑀𝑃𝑎, (𝜎𝑦 )𝑎𝑙 = 414 𝑀𝑃𝑎
