PROBLEM 1. Prob. 3.1


Sketch a free-body diagram of each element in the figure.
Compute the magnitude and direction of each force using an
algebraic or vector method, as specified.

PROBLEM 2. Prob. 3.47


A short, cantilevered round peg is 40 mm in diameter and
extends 10 mm from the wall. It is loaded, as shown, with a
force F = 50 kN applied at the tip in the negative z direction,
and a torque T = 800 N-m. The cross section at the wall is
also shown, with points of interest A, B, and C.
(a) Sketch the stress elements at points A, B, and C. Calculate
the magnitudes of the stresses acting on the stress elements.
Do not neglect transverse shear stress.
(b) Find the maximum shear stresses (i.e., Transformation Equations) for the stress elements at A, B,
and C.
(c) Assuming the critical stress element is the one with the largest maximum shear stress from part
(b), which point is critical?

PROBLEM 3. Prob. 3.53


The part shown is loaded at point C with 300 N in the positive x direction and at point E with 200 N in
the positive y direction. The diameter of the bar ABD is 12 mm. Evaluate the likelihood of failure in
section AB by providing the following information:
(a) Determine the precise location of the critical stress element at the cross section at A.
(b) Sketch the critical stress element and determine magnitudes and directions for all stresses acting
on it.
(c) For the critical stress element,
determine the principal stresses
and the maximum shear stress
using Transformation Equations.
PROBLEM 4. Prob. 3.80
A countershaft carrying two V-belt pulleys is shown in the figure. Pulley A receives to power from a
motor through a belt with the belt tensions shown. The power is transmitted through the shaft and
delivered to the belt on pulley B. Assume the belt tension on the loose side at B is 15 percent of the
tension on the tight side.
(a) Determine the tensions in the belt on pulley B,
assuming the shaft is running at a constant speed.
(b) Draw shear-force, bending-moment and torque
diagrams for the shaft. If needed, make one set for the
horizontal plane and another set for the vertical plane.
(c) At the point of maximum bending moment,
determine the bending stress and the torsional shear
stress.
(d) At the point of maximum bending moment,
determine the principal stresses and the maximum
shear stress.

PROBLEM 5. Prob. 3.95


The cantilevered bar in the figure is made from a
ductile material and is statically loaded with Fy =
1200 N and Fx = Fz = 0. Analyse the stress situation
in the bar OABC by obtaining the following
information.
(a) Determine the precise location of the critical
stress element at the cross section.
(b) Sketch the critical stress element and determine
magnitudes and directions for all stresses acting on
it. (Transverse shear may be neglected if you can
justify this decision.)
(c) For the critical stress element, determine the
principal stresses and the maximum shear stress.
PROBLEM 6. Prob. 3.145
An offset tensile link is shaped to clear an obstruction with a geometry as shown in the figure. The
cross section at the critical location is circular with a major diameter of 40 mm. For a load of 100
kN, estimate the stresses at the inner and outer surfaces of the critical section.
