ME 223: Strength of Materials Homework 2

Summer 2024 Due Monday, June 24th


Problem 2.1 [10 Points]
A cantilever bar of circular cross section and length L is fixed at one end and free at the other (see
figure). The bar is loaded by a torque T at the free end and by a distributed torque of constant
intensity t per unit distance along the length of the bar.

(a) What is the strain energy U1 of the bar when the load T acts alone?

(b) What is the strain energy U2 when the load t acts alone?

(c) What is the strain energy U3 when both loads act simultaneously?

(d) Let torque distribution not be non-uniform [do for t(x) = x 2]

Problem 2.2 [10 Points]

A thin-walled circular tube and a solid circular bar of the same material (see figure) are subjected
to torsion. The tube and bar have the same cross-sectional area and the same length.
What is the ratio of the strain energy U1 in the tube to the strain energy U2 in the solid bar if the
maximum shear stresses are the same in both cases?

Problem 2.6 [10 Points]

A wood beam ABC with simple supports at A and B and an overhang BC, has height h = 300 mm (see
figure). The length of the main span of the beam is L = 3 m and the length of the overhang is L/3 = 1 m.
The beam supports a concentrated load 3P = 24 kN at the midpoint of the main span and a moment PL/2
= 12 kN.m at the free end of the overhang. The wood has weight density γ = 6 kN/m 3.
(a) Determine the required width b of the beam based upon an allowable bending stress of 8 MPa.
(b) Determine the required width based upon an allowable shear stress of 1 MPa.

Problem 2.8 [10 Points]

Three identical boards are bolted together to form the built-up beam. Each bolt has a shear strength of
1.5 kip and the bolts are spaced at a distance of s = 6 in. If the wood has an allowable shear stress of
= 450 psi, determine the maximum allowable internal shear V that can act on the beam.
