Q# Points
ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS.
(a) The state of stress at a point O in a loaded member relative to the x-, y-, and z-axes is
given by:

[ ]
20 10 5 10
σ = 10 −30 −15 MPa
5 −15 5
Determine the normal, shear, and resultant stresses on a plane through O whose normal
makes 65 o with the x-axis and 35o with the y-axis. Hint l 2 +m2+ n2=1
(b) 3.6-m wooden rectangular column has the dimensions
shown in Fig. P1-b. Determine the critical load if the
P1 ends are assumed to be pin-connected. E = 12 GPa.
Yielding does not occur.

P2 (a) The shaft in Fig. P2-a is

supported by journal bearings at
A and B. Due to the transmission
of power to and from the shaft,
the belts on the pulleys are
subjected to the tensions shown. 10
Determine the smallest diameter
of the shaft using the MSST,
with τ all. =50 MPa.

(b) The following describes the stress distribution in a body (in megapascals): 10

STRESS ANALYSIS

Determine the body force distribution required for equilibrium and the magnitude of its
resultant at the point x = –10 mm, y = 30 mm, z = 60 mm.
(a) The state of strain at point A on the bracket in Fig. P3–a1
is measured using the strain rosette shown in Fig. P3–a2.
The readings from the gages give ε a=60 ×10−6,
−6 −6
ε b=135 ×10 , and ε c =264 ×10 . Using Mohr’s circle to
determine the principal strains at the point and the
directions in which they act. 10

(b) Determine the slope at A and the

deflection of end C of the overhang
beam shown in Fig. P3–b. E = 200
GPa and I =84.9 ×10−6m4.
