1.

A beam of rectangular cross-section 70mm wide by 230mm deep (b=70mm


and d=230mm) is required to withstand an external bending moment of
34.6kNm. Calculate the maximum bending stress the beam is subjected to.

2. A circular shaft has a diameter of 60mm. Calculate the maximum torque that
can be transmitted by the shaft if the maximum allowable shear stress in the
shaft is 180MN/m2

3. Determine the shear stress in each rivet in a lap joint with single shear made
with six rivets each of 5mm in diameter, when the joint is subjected to a shear
force of 2kN

4. Define the terms:

Ductility
Brittle Material
Isotropic Materials

5. Find the distance to the Neutral Axis (NA) from the base of the T-section
shown in the figure below.

The maximum and minimum perpendicular strains in a stressed component were found to be
8.5x10-4 and 1.5x10-4. If E = 210 GN/m2 and  = 0.3, calculate the maximum and minimum
stresses.

Hint use:

E
σ x= ( ε x + νε y )
1−ν 2
