MENG560 Practice Assignment #5 -

The document outlines three engineering problems related to machine design, focusing on safety factors and material properties. Problem 5-41 involves calculating the safety factor for a steel tube under internal pressure with varying wall thicknesses. Problems 5-51 and 5-55 assess the feasibility of material modifications and maximum tensile loads based on fracture toughness and safety factors.

Practice Assignment#5

Spring 2024-2025 semester


Problem 5-41

A 10-mm-ID steel tube carries liquid at 7 MPa. The steel has Sy = 400 MPa. Determine
the safety factor for the wall if its thickness is: (a) 1 mm, (b) 5 mm.

Given:

- Yield Strength Sy = 400 MPa;


- Internal Diameter ID = 10mm;
- Inside Pressure 𝑷𝒊 = 𝟕 𝑴𝑷𝒂;

Problem 5-51

A component in the shape of a large sheet is to be fabricated from 4340 steel, which
has a fracture toughness Kc = 98.9 MPa-m0.5 and a tensile yield strength of 860 MPa.
The sheets are inspected for crack flaws after fabrication, but the inspection device
cannot detect flaws smaller than 3 mm. The part is too heavy as designed. An engineer
has suggested that the thickness be reduced and the material be heat-treated to
increase its tensile strength to 1 515 MPa, which would result in decreasing the
fracture toughness to 60.4 MPa-m0.5. Assuming that the stress level does not exceed
one half the yield strength, is the suggestion feasible? If not, why not?

Given:
- Case 1 (Without Modification): Yield Strength 𝑺𝒚𝟏 = 𝟖𝟔𝟎 𝑴𝑷𝒂; fracture
toughness 𝑲𝒄𝟏 = 𝟗𝟖. 𝟗 𝑴𝑷𝒂. 𝒎𝟎.𝟓;
- Case 2 (After Modification): Yield Strength 𝑺𝒚𝟐 = 𝟏𝟓𝟏𝟓 𝑴𝑷𝒂; fracture
toughness 𝑲𝒄𝟐 = 𝟔𝟎. 𝟒 𝑴𝑷𝒂. 𝒎𝟎.𝟓;

Problem 5-55

A material that has a fracture toughness of 33 MPa-m0.5 is to be made into a large panel
that is 2 000 mm long by 250 mm wide and 4 mm thick. If the minimum allowable total
crack length is 4 mm, what is the maximum tensile load in the long direction that can be
applied without catastrophic failure with a safety factor of 2.5?

Given:
- Factor of Safety 𝑵𝑭𝑴 = 𝟐. 𝟓;
- Fracture toughness 𝑲𝒄 = 𝟑𝟑 𝑴𝑷𝒂. 𝒎𝟎.𝟓 ;
- Panel width 𝑾 = 𝟐𝟓𝟎 𝒎𝒎;
- Panel thickness 𝒕 = 𝟒 𝒎𝒎;
- Crack length 𝒍𝒄𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒌 = 𝟒 𝒎𝒎;
