The section of a crane hook is a trapezium; the inner face is b and is at a distance of
120 mm from the centre line of curvature. The outer face is 25 mm and depth of
trapezium = 120 mm. Find the proper value of b, if the extreme fiber stresses due to
pure bending are numerically equal, if the section is subjected to a couple which
develop a maximum fiber stress of 60 MPa. Determine the magnitude of the couple.
Figure 3 shows a frame of a punching machine and its various dimensions. Determine
the maximum stress in the frame, if it has to resist a force of 85 kN.
Determine the stress induced in a of 50 mm diameter rod subjected to a compressive
load
of
20 kN. The mean diameter of the ring is 100 mm.
A chain link is made of 40 mm diameter rod is circular at each end the mean
diameter of which is 80 mm. The straight sides of the link are also 80mm. The
straight sides of the link are also 80 mm. If the link carries a load of 90 kN; estimate
the tensile and compressive stresses along the section of load line. Also find the
stress at a section 90o from the load line.
