Example 5-1
The 16×22×25-mm rubber blocks shown are
used in a double U shear mount to isolate the
vibration of a machine from its supports. An
applied load of 285 N causes the upper frame
to be deflected downward by 5 mm.
Determine the shear modulus G of the rubber
blocks.
ANS:
G = 855.41 kPa

The rigid structure ABD is supported at B by a 35-mm-
diameter tie rod (1) and at A by a 30-mm-diameter pin used in
a single shear connection. The tie rod is connected at B and C
by 24-mm diameter pins used in double shear connections. Tie
rod (1) has a yield strength of 250 MPa, and each of the pins
has an ultimate shear strength of 330 MPa. A concentrated
load of P = 50 kN acts as shown at D. Determine:
a. the factor of safety wrt the yield strength for tie rod (1).
