Assignment 2

The document contains 13 problems related to determining stresses and strains on structural elements under different loading conditions. The problems involve calculating stresses and strains based on given material properties and loadings. They also involve using Mohr's circle to determine principal stresses and maximum shear stresses on elements oriented at different angles. Solutions require using stress and strain transformation equations as well as constructing and analyzing Mohr's circles.

figure). If the allowable stress in shear is 60MPa. What is the maximum permissible torque
Tmax that may be exerted on with the wrench?

torque?(Assume G=78GPa and disregard any bending of the shaft)

allowable stress in shear is 48MPa, and the allowable rate of twist is 2.00 in 3.5 meters.

torque Tmax that can be applied to the shaft.

3. A shaft of solid circular cross section consisting of two segments is shown in the first part of the
figure. The left-hand segment has diameter 80mm and length 1.2m; the right-hand segment has
diameter 60mm and length 0.9 m.
Shown in the second part of the figure is a hollow shaft made of the same material and having the
same length. The thickness t of the hollow shaft is d/10. Where d is the outer diameter. Both
shafts are subjected to the same torque.
