Question No. (1); (15 points)

In the hanger shown, the upper portion of link ABC is 10 mm thick and the lower
portions are each 6 mm thick. Epoxy resin is used to bond the upper and the lower
portions together at B. The pin at A is of 10 mm diameter while a 6 mm diameter
pin is used at C. Determine:
a. The force in link ABC.
b. The largest normal stress in link ABC.
c. The shearing stress in pin C.
d. The average shearing stress on the
bonded surface at B.
e. The bearing stress in the link at c.

Question No. (2); (20 points; (5+15))
(A) Knowing that the allowable stress is 140 MPa and the stress concentration
factor K is 2.1. Determine:
a. The maximum allowable magnitude
of the centric load P.
b. The percent change in the maximum
allowable magnitude of P if the raised
portions are removed at the end of the specimens.

(B) Link BD is made of brass (E = 105 GPa) and has a cross sectional area of 250
mm2. Link CE is made of aluminum (E = 72 GPa) and has a cross sectional
area of 450 mm2. If force P equal to 50 KN
is applied at point A, determine:
a. The normal stress in link BD and link CE.
b. The deflection at point B and point C.
c. The deflection at point A.
Question No. (3); (15 points; (5+10))
(A) Design a solid steel shaft to transmit 0.375 KW at a frequency of 29 Hz, if the
shearing stress in the shaft is not to exceed 35 MPa.
**************************************************
(B) Two solid steel shafts (G = 77 GPa) are connected by the gears shown.
Knowing that the radius of gear B is r B = 20 mm, when torque T A = 75 N.m is
applied at the free end A. Determine:
a. The torque which may be applied at shaft CD.
b. The angle of twist at point A.
