Question 2 (10 Marks)

A segment of a steel crankshaft (E=210 GPa, v=0.33) in a vehicle is represented as shown. Two equal
loads, P, act as shown with each load having a maJnitude of 1.0 kN. The diameter of both shafts is 20.0
mm.
a) Determine the state of stress at point B which is located on the
surface of the shaft at the yo-axis using the stress element
shown;
b) Find the principal stresses for point B and draw them on a
properly oriented principal element.

Question 3 (10 marks)

Steel (E = 210 GPa, u = 0.33) and aluminum (E = 70 GPa, u = 0.25) are joined together to form a
composite beam with the cross section as shown. Determine the largest allowable distributed load, w, that
can be applied to the composite beam if the allowable stress for aluminum and ,steel is 100 MPa and 150
MPa respectively.

Question 4 (1 0 marks)

The hollow shaft shown is made of a steel that is assumed t<) be elastoplastic with Ty = 120 MPa and G = 80
MPa. The free end is rotated by an angle 0 until the radius of the elastic core reached the value py = 45 mm.
a) What is the torque applied,
b) What is the value of the residual rotation after the torque is removed,
c) Plot the corresponding residual stresses.

Question 5 (10 marks)

Four identical wooden planks of 40 X 120 mm cross section are connected to fonn a beam by means of 8 mm
diameter steel bolts spaced every 200 mm longitudinally along the beam. The bending moment diagram for the beam
is shown. Determine the safety factor ofthe connection knowing that in the bolt TuJJ = 120 MPa
