This document is a course examination for Advanced Structural Mechanics & Stability. It consists of 4 questions related to structural analysis. Question 1 asks the student to represent the stress distribution in a cantilever beam loaded at the free end using Airy's stress function. Question 2 asks the student to determine stress components in a thick-wall cylinder under internal pressure. Question 3 asks similar questions for a thick-wall closed end cylinder. Question 4 has multiple parts asking about stresses in a shrunk-fit disk and shaft system. The document provides the required information and equations to answer the questions in the allotted time of 60 minutes.

Question paper consists of 4 questions printed on one side. Answer ALL Questions
in sequence. Assume any required data suitably and mention clearly.
Note: Prescribed text book of the course and class notes (slides) are allowed.

⎛ 3 ⎞
1. Show that the Airy’s stress function φ = A ⎜ xy 3 − xyh 2 ⎟ represents stress distribution in a
⎝ 4 ⎠
h
cantilever beam loaded at the free end with load P. Find the value of A if τ xy = 0 at y = ±
2
where b and h are width and depth respectively of the cantilever. (8M)

2. A thick-wall cylinder is made of steel ( E = 200GPa and ν = 0.29 ) has an inside diameter of
20 mm, and has an outside diameter of 100 mm. The cylinder is subjected to an internal
pressure of 300 MPa. Determine the stress components σ rr and σ θθ   at   r = a = 10 mm,
r = 25 mm and r = b = 50 mm.                                                                                                                    (7M)

3. A thick wall closed end cylinder is made of an aluminum alloy ( E = 72GPa and ν = 0.33 ),
has an inside diameter of 200 mm, and has an outside diameter of 800 mm. The cylinder is
subjected to an internal pressure of 150 MPa. Determine the principal stresses, maximum
shear stress at the inner radius (r = a = 100 mm), and the increase in the inside diameter
caused by the internal pressure. (10M)

4. A flat steel disk of 75 cm outside diameter with a 15 cm diameter hole is shrunk around a
solid steel shaft. The shrunk fit allowance of 0.0075 cm in radius. E = 214 × 106 kPa . Assume
that the same equations as for the disk are applicable to the solid rotating shaft also. (15M)

a) What are the stresses due to shrink fit?


b) At what rpm will the shrink fit loosen up as a as a result of rotation?
c) What is the circumferential stress in the disk when spinning at the above speed?
