Combined Stress Analysis in Engineering

The document is a problem set for CIVE 207 Solid Mechanics at McGill University, focusing on combined stress states. It includes six problems involving calculations of normal and shear stresses in various structural components, such as a basketball backboard support, a C-clamp, a steel bar, a beam, a crank, and an aluminum tube. Each problem requires specific material properties and safety factors to determine allowable forces and stresses.

McGill UNIVERSITY

Department of Civil Engineering and Applied Mechanics


CIVE 207 Solid Mechanics

Problem Set No. 9

Learning objective: Determine combined stress states.

Problem 1

To continue our investigation of basketball items, consider the structure shown in


Figure P1 where a 2 1/2 in. diameter (t = 0.203 in.) A36 steel construction pipe is
used as a support for a basketball backboard. Compute the combined normal
stress σx that would be developed in the pipe in the pipe if a 200-lb player hung
on the base of the rim of the basket.
You have to search for the pipe properties.

Problem 2

Figure P2

The C-clamp shown in Figure


P2 is made of cast malleable
iron, ASTM A47 (σyield =
33.23 ksi).

Determine the allowable


clamping force that the clamp
can exert if it is desired to
have a factor of safety of 2
based on yield strength in
either tension or
compression.

Problem 3

Figure P3
A short square steel bar with a 50-mm-
diameter axial hole is fixed at the base
and is loaded at the top as shown in
Figure P3. Neglecting the weight of the
bar, determine the value of the force P
so that the maximum normal stress at
the fixed end would not exceed the
allowable stress of 150 MPa.

Problem 4

For the beam shown in Figure P4, determine the normal stress at section a-a.
The cross-section at a-a is rectangular with a depth of 200 mm and a width of
100 mm. Beam AC is deformable while Cable AB can be assumed axially rigid.

Problem 5

A crank has a force F of 1000 N applied to it as shown in Figure P5. Determine


the maximum shear stress in the circular portion of the crank (solid round) due to
torque and vertical shear.

Problem 6

The extruded aluminum tube shown in Figure P6 has a vertical force of 25 kN


applied to it at the end A of bar AB, which is welded to the tube. The tube has a
uniform wall thickness of 6 mm. Determine the shear stress at points C and D
shown on the outer surface of the tube in the figure.
