Behavioral Characteristics of Materials subjected to Complex

Loading Systems

1. A metal bar which is part of a frame is 50 mm diameter and 300

mm long. It has a tensile force acting on it of 40 kN which tends to
stretch it. The modulus of elasticity is 205 GPa. Calculate the
stress and strain in the bar and the amount it stretches.

2. A bar of titanium alloy of length 120 mm and square cross-section,

7.5 mm × 7.5 mm, is pulled axially by a force of 15 kN. Find the
percentage decrease in thickness if E= 106 GN/m2 and  = 0.33.

3. A material has stresses of 2 MPa in the x direction and 3 MPa in

the y direction. Given the elastic constants E = 205 GPa and ν=
0.27, calculate the strains in both direction.

4. A material has stresses of -2 MPa in the x direction and 3 MPa in

the y direction. Given the elastic constants E = 205 GPa and ν=
0.27, calculate the strains in both direction.

5-A part of a testing mechanical machine is loaded as shown in the figure is

made from a stainless steel (E=200 Gpa, γ= 0.3). In your lab you will
measure change in dimensions of this part due to this loading, but you
wanted to ensure these measurements by using formulas and calculations.
Determine:
(a) The change in dimensions due to this 2-D loading (X, Z).
(b) If we loaded this component with third load of (10) kN which acts in (Y)
direction (the
third dimension); determine the new dimensions under this 3-D loading.
(c) Determine the volumetric strain and change in volume due to 3-D
loading.
6-A bar made of stainless steel has the dimensions shown the Figure. If an axial
force of 80 kN is applied to the bar. Determine the change in its length and the
change in the dimensions of its cross section after applying the load. The material
behaves elastically.
(E=200 Gpa, γ= 0.32).
