QUESTION 1 (11 marks)
A steel vessel in the form of a truncated cone has the dimensions as shown in Figure 1.
It is filled with water of density 1000 kg/m3. At point A on the surface, a strain gauge
mounted in the direction of σθ indicates a strain of 102 x 10-6. Determine the thickness of
the vessel. Given that the Young’s modulus = 200 x 103 MPa, Poisson’s ratio = 0.3 for
steel and g = 9.8 m/s2.
The vessel can be assumed to be perfectly conical and end effects and the weight of the
vessel can be ignored.

QUESTION 2 ( 6 marks)
A thin tube is made from three 5 mm thick steel plates such that it has a cross-section
that is triangular as shown in Figure 2. Determine the maximum torque T to which it can
be subjected if the allowable shear stress is 90 MPa and the tube is restricted to twist (ϕ)
no more than 2 x 10-3 radian. The length of the tube is 3m and all the plates are of the
same width. Given that the rigidity modulus of steel G = 75 GPa.
Figure 2
Figure 3 shows a clamped steel beam AB with a load of 50 N applied at B. The beam is
supported by a spring of stiffness equal to 20 N/mm as shown. Using the unit load
method (virtual work principle), determine the deflection of the beam at B. Given that
E= 200 GPa and width of the beam is 5mm.

A high strength steel plate, which has a plain strain fracture toughness of 80 MN.m-3/2,
is alternately loaded in tension to 550 MN.m-2 and in compression to 60 MNm-2. The
plate is to survive for 10 years, with the stress being applied at a frequency of once
every 100 minutes. Assuming β = 1, C = 1.62 x 10-12 and m = 3.2 determine the
initial crack length allowable for the component to serve as intended.
