    This document contains 5 problems related to stress and strain in mechanical systems: 1. It asks to calculate the normal stress in each member and shearing/bearing stresses at a joint of a pin-connected truss under a vertical force. 2. It asks to calculate the forces exerted at joints and the normal stress in a member of a bolt cutter under an applied force. 3. It asks to calculate the compressive stress and strain in a hollow circular aluminum post under a compressive load, given dimensions and measured shortening. 4. It asks to derive a formula for and calculate the maximum stress in a hanging steel rod supporting a weight, accounting for the rod's own weight.

    Mechanics of Deformable Bodies

    Asynchronous Activity 1
    STRESS
    ASSYNCHRONOUS ACTIVITY 1
    1. A pin-connected truss composed of members AB and BC is subjected to a vertical force 40 P = kN at joint
    B (see figure). Each member is of constant crosss ectional area: 2 AAB = 0.004 m and 2 ABC = 0.002 m . The
    diameter d of all pins is 20 mm, clevis thickness t is 10 mm, and the thickness 1 t of the bracket is 15 mm.
    Determine the normal stress acting in each member and the shearing and bearing stresses at joint C.
    2. A force P of magnitude 200 N is applied to the handles of the bolt cutter shown in Fig. a. Compute (1) the
    force exerted on the bolt and rivets at joints A, B, and C and (2) the normal stress in member AD, which has a
    uniform crosssectional area of 4 2 2 10 m − × . Dimensions are given in millimeters.
    3. A short post constructed from a hollow circular tube of aluminum supports a compressive load of 250
    kN (see figure). The inner and outer diameters of the tube are 1d = 9cm and 2 d =13cm, respectively, and
    its length is 100 cm. The shortening of the post due to the load is measured as 0.5 mm. Determine the
    compressive stress and strain in the post. (Disregard the weight of the post itself, and assume that the post
    does not buckle under the load).
    4. A circular steel rod of length L and diameter d hangs in a
    mine shaft and holds an ore bucket of weight W at its lower
    end (see figure). (1) Obtain a formula for the maximum
    stress σ max in the rod, taking into account the weight of
    the rod itself. (2) Calculate the maximum stress if L = 40 m,
    d = 8 mm, and W = 1.5 kN.
    5. A thin, triangular plate ABC is
    uniformly deformed into a shape ABC', as
    shown by the dashed lines in the figure.
    Calculate (1) the normal strain along the
    centerline OC; (2) the normal strain along the
    edge AC; and (3) the shearing strain between
    the edges AC and BC.
