EC-1: Assignment 1

Course No. : AE ZG633


Course Title : Advances in vehicle body structures
Weightage : 10% of course score
Submission due date : 03 MAR 2022 11:30 PM
Date assigned : 4 FEB 2022
No. of pages in this document :2
Instructions:
1. This assignment is for 50 points, and your EC-1 score will be scaled down to 12.5 points.
2. Upload your submissions through the Taxila system as per the deadline noted above. Your
submission must be a single pdf file (multiple files or other file formats are not allowed). Submissions
outside the Taxila system (such e-mails, Whatsapp etc.) will not be considered.
3. Plan for unexpected down times and submit early – the system will not accept late submissions.

1. For the state of plane stress with x-y axes as shown, do the
following:
1.1 draw the Mohr’s circle using the sign convention discussed in
class [4]
1.2 determine the principal normal stresses and the angle from
the x-axis to 𝜎1 [4]
1.3 draw the state of stress on an element rotated 30° clockwise
from the x-axis [4]

2. The varying stresses produced at a certain point in a component subjected to combined axial
loading, bending and twisting are as follows (assume that the varying stresses are in phase with
each other):
(i) Axial loading: Constant stress of 20 MPa
(ii) Bending: Completely reversed load causing 60 MPa maximum stress
(iii) Twisting: Repeated load causing maximum stress of 50 MPa
The fatigue stress concentration factors due to the presence of a hole in the component are:
𝐾𝑓 for axial loading = 1.1, 𝐾𝑓 for bending = 1.4, 𝐾𝑓 for twisting load = 2.0

The material properties of the component are provided below:
Yield strength: 𝑆𝑦 = 300 𝑀𝑃𝑎
Ultimate strength: 𝑆𝑢 = 400 𝑀𝑃𝑎
Completely adjusted endurance limit: 𝑆e = 200 𝑀𝑃𝑎

Use the modified Goodman criterion for fatigue failure.

Answer the following in light of the above:


2.1 Determine if the part has finite or infinite life. [10]
2.2 Calculate the factory of safety guarding against fatigue failure assuming infinite life. [4]
2.3 Calculate the factory of safety guarding against yielding. [6]

3. A machine part is subjected to fluctuating stress over two cycles. In the first cycle, stress varies from
𝜎𝑚𝑖𝑛 = 140 MPa to 𝜎𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 420 MPa repeated 50,000 times. In the second cycle, stress varies from
𝜎𝑚𝑖𝑛 = −200 MPa to 𝜎𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 350 MPa. The material of the part has ultimate tensile strength 𝑆𝑢𝑡 =
590 MPa, yield strength 𝑆𝑦 = 490 MPa, and corrected endurance strength 𝑆𝑒 = 200 MPa. Assume
𝑓 = 0.9. Use the modified Goodman criterion for fatigue failure.
3.1 Calculate the life of the part in each cycle. [15]
3.2 Estimate, using Miner’s rule, the number of load repetitions that the part will endure in the second
cycle. [3]
