Q1) A 800 mm long shaft with a diameter of 80 mm carries a flywheel weighing 4 kN at its midway. The shaft transmits 24 kW at a speed of 240 rpm. Determine the principal  stresses and the maximum shear stress at the ends of a vertical and horizontal diameter in a plane near the flywheel.

Q2) The outer and inner diameter of hollow steel shaft are 120 mm and 600 mm respectively. The shaft transmits 800 kW at a speed of 400 rpm while at end thrust of 70 kN acts on the shaft. Determine the bending moment which can safely be applied to the shaft if the maximum principal stress do not exceed 80 Mpa.

Q5) A point in a strained material is subjected to a tensile stress of 65 N/mm2 and a compressive stress of 45 N/mm2, acting on two mutually perpendicular planes and a shear stress of 10 N/mm2 are acting on these planes. Find the normal stress, tangential stress and resultant stress on a plane inclined to 30° with the plane of the compressive stress

A5) Given:

Here

 σx = 65 N/mm2

σy = –45 N/mm2 (Compressive ve)

θ = (90 30) = 60° with the plain of σx.

τ = 10 N/mm2

Q6) Direct stress of 120 MN/m2 in tension and 90 MN/m2 in compression are applied to an elastic material at a certain point on a plane at 25° with the tensile stress. If the maximum principal stress is not to exceed 150 MN/m2 in tension to what shearing stress can the material be subjected? What is then the maximum resulting shearing stress in the material and also find the magnitude of the other principal stress and its inclination to plane of 120 MN/m2 stress.

A6)

Given :

σn1 = 150 MPa, σx = 120 MPa, σ = 90 MPa

Major principal stress is given by,

(150 – 15)2 = 1052 + τ2

τ = 84.85 N/mm2

Minor principal stress,

Maximum shear stress,

 

N/mm2

Position of principal plane,

θp1 = 19.47 or 90 + 19.47 = 109.47

Position of maximum shear stress,

θs1 = θp1+ 45°

      = 19.47° + 45° = 64.47°

θs2 = θp2+ 45° = 154.47°

Q9) Explain the procedure to solve the problems of combined stresses.

A9) The procedure to solve problems of combined stresses includes the following steps:

  • Select a point in the structure where the stresses and strains are to be determined. (The point is often selected at a cross-section where the stresses are maximum, such that at a cross-section in which the bending moment has its maximum value.)
  • For every load on the structure, decide the stress resultants at the cross-section involving the selected point. (The possible stress resultants are an axial force, a twisting moment, a bending moment, and a shear force.)
  • Evaluate the normal and shear stresses at the selected point because of each of the stress resultants. Also, if the structure is a pressure vessel, decide the stresses because of the internal pressure. (The stresses are found from the stress formulas derived previously)
  • Combine the individual stresses to obtain the resultant stresses at the selected point. In other words, obtain the stresses
    acting on a stress element at the point.
  • Determine the principal stresses and maximum shear stresses at the selected point, using either the stress-transformation equations or Mohr’s circle. If needed, determine the stresses that are on other inclined planes.
  • Decide the strains at the point by Hooke’s law for plane stress.
  • Select extra points and repeat the same process. Carry the process until sufficient stress and strain data is available to satisfy the purposes of the analysis.
  •  

    Q10) Give the procedure to determine the internal forces and moments.

    A10) The procedure to calculate internal forces is as follows:

  • Draw a free-body diagram of the entire body.
  • Find reactions at external supports.
  • To find the reactions at external supports, condition of equilibrium is used. These conditions of equilibrium are:

  • Algebric sum of the forces in X direction is equal to zero
  • b.     Algebric sum of the forces in Y direction is equal to zero

    c.      Algebric sum of the moments at a particular point due to all forces is equal to zero.

    iii.            Find reactions at connections.

    iv.            Keep all loads in their exact locations.

    v.            Pass a section cut through the member perpendicular to its axis at the point where the internal loads are to be determined,

    vi.            Draw FBD of cut member.

    vii.            For 2D problem find N, V, M (normal force, shear force and moment respectively) from equilibrium.
