1 (60+60) 3.32 Use problem geometry and load as given. Change the force to F = -40i + 20j -15k
a. On a 3D sketch of the cross section at the wall draw all internal forces acting on the
section in the directions they actually act. Show a minus sign in parentheses after those
which are negative by the coordinate system shown in the problem. Note that you are to
use the coordinate system given in the text.
b. Show the stress cubes at A and B calculated by hand.
c. Find the factor of safety at A by von Mises and Tresca Theories by hand. Use A-36 steel
as the material which has a yield strength of 36,000 psi.

See problem 3.33. Do not do the problem as stated. Let the material be 1040 steel with an ultimate tensile
strength of 90,000 psi
a. Draw the internal force diagrams for the problem using the given coordinate system.
b. Find the stress cube at x = 20-, y = 1, z = 0. Neglect all stress concentration factors.
c. Find the minimum factor of safety on ultimate tensile strength in the shaft again neglecting any stress
concentration factors. You may use engineering simplifications to get this factor of safety.
d. Find the deflection of point B in the y and z directions due to bending only.

2.(70+50) 5.14. You may change the coordinate system to xy like done in class. Do section properties by hand. Then do
the section properties by Solid Works or other software. Be sure to turn in a screen capture of your CAD
model showing the section properties obtained and compare them in a table to those found by hand. To solve
for required distances etc, you can use a CAD package. Since the moment is +20,000 in-lb about the z axes
given let the moment create tension in the “bottom” of the beam.
Bonus: Create an FEA model creating the same moment at a section away from the wall of a cantilever beam
to verify results obtained by hand. Make the length of the beam longer than needed to get the required moment
to avoid the issues stress concentration factors of the fixed support and section warping due to a non-
symmetrical cross section. For example, use a load of 1000 lb. Make the beam 40 inches long and inquire on
values at the 20-inch length to get the required moment of 20,000 in-lb avoiding the problems of the wall
support distorting values. Use plate elements.

5.18. Use software to find section properties and again supply a screen copy of the section and the resulting
section properties. The 2 kN load is applied along the y axis shown.

3. 0 5.46. Use software to find section properties and again supply a screen copy of the section and the resulting
section properties. You only need to do the problem by either an equivalent steel or brass section. Also find
the necessary shear strength of a bonding agent connecting the steel and the brass. Bonus is an FEA model
with brick elements. Be sure to compare values and be careful with boundary conditions at the wall.

5.7. Some versions of the text give a torque of 125 NM and others give 600 NM. Use 125 NM.

A W4X13 wide flange beam has a height of 4.16”, a flange width of 4.06”, a web thickness of .28”, and flange
thickness of .345”. The AISC Manual, 7th Ed, gives Ixx=11.3 in4 , J=.154 in4. Verify these with software and
hand calculations where needed. It is used as a cantilever beam 150 inches long with a load of 200 lbs applied
at the extreme corner of the end of beam much like the problem done in class. Find the following:
a. The deflection of the end of the beam due to bending.
b. The rotation of the end of the beam with comments on accuracy of this result ie free warping
assumption vs actual cantilever connection preventing free warping.
c. The max bending stress. Again comment on the free warping assumption vs the actual values
where free warping is prevented.
d. The max shear stress in the web and flange of the beam and clearly show location. Again
comment on the free warping assumption vs the actual values where free warping is prevented.
e. Bonus. Do an FEA model of the problem to get close to actual results and compare to your results
above.
4.() 5.32. Use software to find section properties and find the shear center as requested in the problem. Then let the
problem be a cantilever with a vertical load of 100 N downward applied along the vertical web. Let the length
of the beam be 2 m and the material be A-36 steel. Assume free warping is allowed at the cantilever
connection.
a. Find the angular rotation of the end of the beam and the max shear stress in the web considering both torsion
and vertical load and the max bending stress at the cantilever connection.
b. What would change if the cantilever connection does not allow free warping of the section? Give an analysis
that considers both shear and normal stresses at the wall and discuss how these change as you move from the
wall to the free end of the beam. Also discuss the accuracy of the total beam rotation when free warping is
prevented at the wall.

5.35. Use software to find section properties and find the shear center. Then let the problem be a 2 m long
cantilever beam with a vertical load of 100 N downward applied along the long vertical web. Assume free
warping is allowed at the cantilever connection. Find the angular rotation of the end of the beam and the max
shear stress in the web considering both torsion and vertical load. Finally find the minimum factor of safety
via von Mises Theory of Failure. Let the material be steel and have a yield strength of 40,000 psi.

discussion.

10b 5.67 (Assume that the support conditions are simply supported at both edges of the plate so that you can use
the tables in the text like done in class. Then solve the problem as stated with double cantilever conditions by
getting the solution from Roark and Young or by superposition. Note that superposition is involved
algebraically.) An approximate solution is required for both the simple support and cantilevered support
conditions. An FEA model is a bonus with a good summary of comparisons of values obtained including a
brief discussion.

12a 5.80, omit part b. For clarification in part d they are asking for delta from equation 5.9-8 page 363. Linear FEA
models are not applicable to this problem since the deformed shape is used to calculate the stress area. Must use
nonlinear FEA to do this type of problem.

12b 5.81, For clarification in part b they are asking for a. Answers are at the end of the text. Linear FEA models are not
applicable to this problem since the deformed shape is used to calculate the stress area. Must use nonlinear FEA to
do this type of problem.
