DESIGN PROBLEMS
1. The piston rod on an air operated press is
to exert a maximum force of 20kN. During
the application of this force, the air pressure
in the cylinder is maintained at 700kPa.
Assume the piston rod length to be 760mm
long with its right hand end pin connected to
the operating lever and the piston end of the
Fixed Ends One end fixed, the
rod fix ended.

determine its slenderness ratio.
B. Determine the rod diameter. Use an
