A. Illustrate Saint-Venant’s principle. Describe the stress concentration for following figure at the cut
section (Dashed line):
2. The rigid castings A and B are connected by two 3/4-in.-diameter steel bolts CD and GH and are
in contact with the ends of a 1.5-in.-diameter aluminum rod EF. Each bolt is single-threaded with
a pitch of 0.1 in., and after being snugly fitted, the nuts at D and H are both tightened one-quarter
of a turn. Knowing that E is 29 × 106 psi for steel and 10.6 × 106 psi for aluminum, determine the
normal stress in the rod.
4. For the steel truss (E = 29 × 106 psi) and loading shown, determine the deformations of members
BD and DE, knowing that their cross-sectional areas are 2 in2 and 3 in2 , respectively.
5. Link BD is made of brass (E = 105 GPa) and has a cross-sectional area of 240 mm2 . Link CE is
made of aluminum (E = 72 GPa) and has a cross-sectional area of 300 mm2 . Knowing that they
support rigid member ABC, determine the maximum force P that can be applied vertically at point
A if the deflection of A is not to exceed 0.35 mm.
6. Each of the four vertical links connecting the two rigid horizontal members is made of aluminum
(E = 70 GPa) and has a uniform rectangular cross section of 10 × 40 mm. For the loading shown,
determine the deflection of (a) point E, (b) point F, (c) point G.
8. A rod consisting of two cylindrical portions AB and BC is restrained at both ends. Portion AB is
made of steel (ES = 29 × 106 psi, αS = 6.5 × 10-6 /0F) and portion BC is made of aluminum (Ea =
10.4 × 106 psi, αa = 13.3 × 10-6 /0F). Knowing that the rod is initially unstressed, determine (a) the
normal stresses induced in portions AB and BC by a temperature rise of 700F, (b) the corresponding
deflection of point B.
10. The steel rod ABC is attached to rigid supports and is unstressed at a temperature of 25 0C. The
steel is assumed elastoplastic with E = 200 GPa and σY = 250 MPa. The temperature of both
portions of the rod is then raised to 1500C. Knowing that α = 11.7 × 10-6 /0C, determine (a) the
stress in both portions of the rod, (b) the deflection of point C.
12. Knowing that the hole has a diameter of 9 mm, determine (a) the radius r f of the fillets for which
the same maximum stress occurs at the hole A and at the fillets, (b) the corresponding maximum
allowable load P if the allowable stress is 100 MPa.
13. Knowing that a 0.02-in. gap exists when the temperature is 750F, determine (a) the temperature at
which the normal stress in the aluminum bar will be equal to -11 ksi, (b) the corresponding exact
length of the aluminum bar.
