i) Tensile stresses ii) Poisson’s ratio iii) Shearing stresses

b) Name a failure criterion for ductile materials

c) Draw Mohr’s Circles for the state of stress on the inside surface of a pressure vessel with an internal
pressure of 4000 psi, inside diameter of 6 inches and a wall thickness of 0.25 inches made form a
material with a yield stress of 40 ksi.
Determine the Maximum Shearing Stress__________________________________
According to the Maximum Shearing Stress Failure Criterion, Do you predict failure? Yes or No
d) The first column illustrated has a critical buckling load of 900 lb. Assuming all have the same cross
sectional shapes and steel has a modulus of elasticity 3 times that of aluminum, determine the
critical buckling load for the rest of the columns.
