Assignment #01 4 Semester Mechanical Engineering (2019-20) - Sec B Due Date 25.02.2020

This document contains 4 mechanical engineering assignment problems involving stresses and strains in different materials. Problem 1 involves determining the maximum stress in steel and brass prismatic bars supporting a vertical load. Problem 2 involves finding the stress in steel and aluminum parts compressed between rigid plates. Problem 3 involves finding the minimum temperature change that does not exceed the stress limit in an aluminum part of a composite copper-aluminum bar. Problem 4 involves determining the stress in each of three different material bars joined together when one support is displaced. The due date for completing these 4 problems is February 25, 2020.

ASSIGNMENT #01

4th semester Mechanical Engineering (2019-20). Sec B Due Date 25.02.2020

1. Two prismatic bars are rigidly fastened together and


support a vertical load of 45 kN, as shown in Fig. at
right. The upper bar is steel having length 10 m and
cross-sectional area 60 cm2. The lower bar is brass
having length 6 m and cross-sectional area 50 cm 2. For
steel E = 200 GPa, for brass E = 100 GPa. Determine
the maximum stress in each material.

2. Consider a steel tube surrounding a solid aluminum


cylinder, the assembly being compressed between rigid
cover plates by centrally applied forces as shown in Fig.
at right. The aluminum cylinder is 8 cm in diameter and
the outside diameter of the steel tube is 9.2 cm. If P =
200 kN, find the stress in the steel and also in the
aluminum. For steel, E = 200 GPa and for aluminum E
= 80 GPa.
3. The composite bar shown in Fig. at right is rigidly
attached to the two supports. The left portion of the bar
is copper, of uniform cross-sectional area 80 cm 2 and
length 30 cm. The right portion is aluminum, of
uniform cross-sectional area 20 cm 2 and length 20 cm.
At a temperature of 26°C the entire assembly is stress
free. The temperature of the structure drops and during
this process the right support yields 0.025 mm in the
direction of the contracting metal. Determine the
minimum temperature to which the assembly may be
subjected in order that the stress in the aluminum does
not exceed 160 MPa.
For copper E = 100 GPa, α = 17 × 10–6/°C, and
for aluminum E = 80 GPa, α = 23 × 10–6/°C.
4. A structural system consists of three joined bars of
different materials and geometries, as shown in Fig. at
right. Bar ➀ is aluminum alloy, bar ➁ is cold rolled
brass, and bar ➂ is tempered alloy steel. Properties and
dimensions of all three are shown in the figure. Initially,
the entire system is free of stresses, but then the right
support is moved 3 mm to the right whereas the left
support remains fixed in space. Determine the stress in
each bar due to this 3 mm displacement.
