    Strength of Materials

    Problem Set 2: Shear Stresses

    1. Consider the bolted joint shown in the figure. The force


    P is 30 kN and the diameter of the bolt is 10 mm.
    Determine the average value of the shearing stress existing
    across either planes aa or bb .

    2. Low-carbon structural steel has a shearing ultimate strength of approximately 300 MPa. Determine the force
    P necessary to punch a 2.5-cm-diameter hole through a plate of this steel 1 cm thick. If the modulus of
    elasticity in shear for this material is 82 GPa, find the shear strain at the edge of this hole when the shear
    stress is 143 MPa.

    3. In the wood industries, inclined blocks of wood are


    sometimes used to determine the compression shear strength
    of glued joints. Consider the pair of glued blocks A and
    B of the figure which are 38 mm deep in a direction
    perpendicular to the plane of the paper. Determine the
    shearing ultimate strength of the glue if a vertical force of 40
    kN is required to cause rupture of the joint. It is to be noted
    that a good glue causes a large proportion of the failure to
    occur in the wood.

    4. The shearing stress in a piece of structural steel is 100 MPa. If the modulus of rigidity G is 85 GPa, find
    the shearing strain .

    5. A single rivet is used to join two plates as shown in the


    figure. If the diameter of the rivet is 20 mm and the load
    P is 30 kN, what is the average shearing stress
    developed in the rivet?

    6. One common type of weld for joining two plates is the fillet weld. This weld undergoes shear as well as
    tension or compression and frequently bending in addition. For the two plates shown, determine the
    allowable tensile force P that may be applied using an allowable working stress of 77 MPa for shear
    loading. Consider only shearing stresses in the weld. The load is applied midway between the two welds.

    7. Shafts and pulleys are usually fastened together by means of
    a key, as shown the figure. Consider a pulley subject to a
    turning moment T of 1000 Nm keyed by a
    1 1 8 cm key to the shaft. The shaft is 5 cm in
    diameter. Determine the shear stress on a horizontal plane
    through the key.

    8. A lifeboat on a seagoing cruise ship is supported at each end


    by a stranded steel cable passing over a pulley on a davit
    anchored to the top deck. The cable at each end carries a
    tension of 4000 N and the cable as well as the pulley are
    located in a vertical plane as shown. The pulley may rotate
    freely about the horizontal circular axle indicated. Determine
    the diameter d of this axle if the allowable transverse
    shearing stress is 50 MPa.

    9. A building that is 60 m tall has essentially the rectangular


    configuration shown in the figure. Horizontal wind loads will
    act on the building exerting pressures on the vertical face that
    may be approximated as uniform within each of the three
    layers as shown. From empirical expressions for wind
    pressures at the midpoint of each of the three layers, we have
    a pressure of 781 N/m 2 on the lower layer, 1264 N/m 2 on the
    middle layer, and 1530 N/m2 on the top layer. Determine the
    resisting shear that the foundation must develop to withstand
    this wind load.

    10. Two 1.5-mm-thick strips of titanium alloy 45 mm wide are joined by a 45 laser weld as shown. A 100 kW
    carbon dioxide laser system is employed to form the joint. If the allowable shearing stress in the alloy is 440
    MPa and the joint is assumed to be 100 percent efficient, determine the maximum allowable force P that
    may be applied.
