PROBLEM # 1
A 60-MM DIAMETER STEEL TUBE WITH A WALL THICKNESS OF 3 MM JUST FITS IN A
RIGID HOLE. DETERMINE THE TANGENTIAL STRESS DEVELOPED IF AN AXIAL
COMPRESSIVE LOAD OF 12 KN IS APPLIED. USE Ν = 0.30 AND E = 200GPA.
PROBLEM # 2
A 200-MM LONG BRONZE TUBE CLOSED AT BOTH ENDS FITS WITHOUT CLEARANCE
IN A 70-MM HOLE IN A RIGID BLOCK. IT HAS A DIAMETER OF 70 MM AND A WALL
THICKNESS OF 5 MM. THE TUBE THEN SUSTAINED AN INTERNAL PRESSURE OF 4.5
MPA. USE Ν = 0.33 AND E = 83 GPA. COMPUTE THE TANGENTIAL STRESS IN THE
TUBE.
PROBLEM # 3
THE ALUMINUM BLOCK HAS THE RECTANGULAR CROSS-SECTION AND IS SUBJECTED
TO AN AXIAL COMPRESSIVE FORCE OF 8 KIPS. THE 1.5-IN SIDE CHANGED ITS
LENGTH TO 1.50014 INCHES. USE E = 10 X 103 KSI. CALCULATE THE NEW LENGTH
OF THE 2-INCH SIDE.
PROBLEM # 4
A SOLID CYLINDER OF DIAMETER D IS SUBJECTED TO AN AXIAL LOAD P. SHOW
THAT ITS CHANGE IN DIAMETER IS δD =4Pν / πDE.
PROBLEM # 5
A RECTANGULAR ALUMINUM BLOCK IS 90 MM LONG IN THE X-DIRECTION, 70 MM
WIDE IN THE Y-DIRECTION, AND 40MM THICK IN THE Z-DIRECTION. THE BLOCK IS
SUBJECTED TO AXIAL LOADS OF 220 KN TENSILE FORCE IN THE X-DIRECTION, 150
KN COMPRESSIVE FORCE IN THE Y DIRECTION, AND 200 KN TENSILE FORCE IN THE
Z-DIRECTION. ASSUME THAT Ν = 0.33 AND E = 70 GPA. DETERMINE THE SINGLE
LOAD IN THE X-DIRECTION THAT WOULD PRODUCE THE SAME Z DEFORMATION AS
THE ORIGINAL LOADING.
