Sheet (1)

1- A punch press, used for stamping sheet metal, has a punching capacity of 50 KN.
The section of the frame is shown in the fig. find the resultant stress at inner and
outer fiber of the section.

2- A bracket, is bolted to the framework of a machine which carries a load P. the

cross-section at 40 mm from the fixed end is rectangular with dimensions, 60 mm
x 30 mm. if the maximum stress is limited to 70 MPa, find the value of P.

3- A wall bracket, is subjected to a pull of P = 5KN, at 60° to the vertical. The cross
section of the bracket is rectangular having b = 3t. Determine the dimensions b and t

1
 if the stress in the material of the bracket is
limited to 28MPa.

4- Design a cotter joint to connect two mild steel rods for a pull of 30 KN. The maximum
permissible stresses are 55 MPa. In tension, 40 MPa in shear, and 70 MPa in crushing.
Draw a neat sketch of the joint designed.

5- two mild steel rods are to be connected by a cotter joint . the thickness of the cotter
is 12 mm. Calculate the dimensions of the joint if Syt = 400 MPa, take the factor of
safety for rods, spigot and socket = 6 and that for cotter = 4 .

6- Design a knuckle joint to connect two mild steel bars under tensile load of 25 KN. The
allowable stresses are 65 MPa in tension, 50 MPa in shear, and 83 MPa in crushing.

7- A knuckle joint is required to withstand a load of 30 KN. Design and sketch the joint if
Syt = 600 MPa, and the pin is tightened to the joint.
