Tutorial 3: Composite bars

Question 1: A MS square bar 50x50 mm and 4.4 mm under an axial load F=550KN. Take the
longitudinal axis of the bar as the x-axis.
(a) Compute the nominal axial stress in MPa and strain.
(b) If the MS the Poisson’s ratio is 0.3 Compute the cross sectional area of the bar when
carrying the load F and hence compute the actual true axial stress in the bar. Comment on
this value of stress compared to that obtained in (a) above.
(c) Determine volumetric strain of the bar by using two methods.

Question 2: A tensile test is carried out on a round bar of MS of diameter 25 mm. The bar yields
under a load of 100KN. With gradual increase in the load to a maximum of 175KN. The bar
starts to neck, and it continues so with decreasing load until the neck diameter becomes 10mm
when it fractures at a load of 90KN. Calculate (a) The yield stress (b) The ultimate tensile stress
(c) The breaking stress (nominal) (d) The actual breaking stress (true)

Question 3: A cast iron (CI) round bar (brittle material) is subjected to an axial load of F=60KN.
The minimum safety factor for the structure is to be 2. Determine the required minimum
diameter of the bar if it is to be loaded in (a) compression (b) tension for CI ultimate stress =210
MPa (in tension) and 380 MPa (in compression)

Question 4: A steel bar ABCD consists of three sections AB is 25x25 mm square and 500 mm
long, BC is 20 mm diameter and 400 mm long and CD is of 12 mm diameter and 500 mm long.
Determine the stresses set up in each section of the bar when it carries an axial force F= 20KN.
What will be the total extension of the bar under this load For steel E=200GPa

Question 5: A steel bar ABCD consists of three sections AB is of 20 mm diameter and 200 mm
long. BC is 25mm square and 400 mm long and CD is of 12 mm dameter and 200mm long. The
bar carries an axial compressive load which induces a stress of 30MPa on the largest crossection.
Determine (a) compressive load (b) the total decrease in the length in the length of the bar. For
steel take E=210GPa
Question 6: A compound tube consists of a stainless tube of mean diameter 40mm and wall
thickness 2mm placed concentrically inside a brass tube of mean diameter 60mm and wall
thickness 4mm. The compound tube is to carry a total mass M kg. The maximum allowable
compressive stress for the stainless stell tube is to be 550MPa and for the brass tube it is
130MPa. (a) Working from the first principle determine the maximum allowable value of M
(b) With the value of M obtained in (a) Determine the compressive stresses in the steel and
copper tubes and the common strain in the tube. Take Young’s modulus of steel as 200GPa and
for brass 100GPa.
Question 7:

(a) Two solid cylindrical rods AB and BC are welded together at B and loaded as shown.
Knowing that d1=30 mm and d2 = 50 mm, find the average normal stress at the midsection
of (1) rod AB, (2) rod BC
(b) Two solid cylindrical rods AB and BC are welded together at B and loaded as shown.
Knowing that the average normal stress must not exceed 150 MPa in either rod, determine
the smallest allowable values of the diameters. (a)84.9 Mpa,-96.8 MPa.(b) d1,d2=22.6,40.2
mm

Question 7: A bar ABC of length L consists of two parts of equal lengths but different diameters.
Segment AB has diameter d1=100 mm, and segment BC has diameter d2 = 60 mm. Both
segments have length L/2=60 mm. 0.6 m. A longitudinal hole of diameter d is drilled through
segment AB for one-half of its length (distance L/4=0.3 m). The bar is made of plastic having
modulus of elasticity E=4.0 GPa. Compressive loads P 110 kN act at the ends of the bar.
(a) If the shortening of the bar is limited to 8.0 mm, what is the maximum allowable diameter
dmax of the hole? (See figure part a.)
(b) Now, if dmax is instead set at d2/2, at what distance b from end C should load P be applied to
limit the bar shortening to 8.0 mm? [(See figure part (b.)]
(c) Finally, if loads P are applied at the ends and dmax d2/2, what is the permissible length x of
the hole if shortening is to be limited to 8.0 mm? [(See figure part (c.)]
