    This homework assignment from ME 3000 Design of Mechanical Elements includes 3 problems. The first problem involves using Matlab to plot sine and cosine waves with labels and legends. The second problem requires calculating the factor of safety for a hollow rod under tension using data from McMaster-Carr. The third problem involves selecting a hexagonal beam from McMaster-Carr to support an axial load while meeting a minimum design factor of safety.

    ME 3000 Design of Mechanical Elements

    Prof. B. Raeymaekers

    Homework #1: Matlab basics + Intro to design

    Spring 2016

    Instructions
    This homework was assigned on 01/15/16 and your hard-copy solution is due on 01/22/16 at 5
    pm in the ME front office. Show your work, no credit will be given for the solution only. Include
    a print out of your Matlab code if applicable (with comments).
    PROBLEM 1:
    Use Matlab to plot Vsin2(t) and Vcos2(t) in one plot, with = 2f. The frequency f of the
    waves is 1 Hz, the phase is 0, and the amplitude is V = 1 Volt. Show the amplitude as a function
    of time over two wavelengths, using a blue and red line for the sine and cosine wave,
    respectively. If you use a grayscale printer, use a solid and dashed line. Use a line thickness of
    2 in Matlab. Add a grid. Add labels to the x- and y-axes. When making technical plots, use the
    following format for labels: Metric, symbol [units]. Thus, for the x-axis use Time, t [s] and
    for the y-axis use Amplitude, V [V]. Use fontsize 24. Add a legend in the northeast corner of
    the plot to identify the two lines. Do not add a title to the figure.
    Note: This assignment is meant to practice how to make a figure to convey a technical result to a
    reader. I expect that in future HW sets, you will follow this template.
    Hand in:
    Figure
    Attach a print out of your Matlab m-file.
    PROBLEM 2:
    Figure 1 shows a hollow rod attached to a frame. The rod was purchased through McMaster-Carr
    (product ID: 5366T34) and cut to L = 20 cm using a bandsaw. When F = 37.5 kN, what is the
    implied factor of safety in this design?
    HINT: Go to the McMaster website and search for the product ID. All info you need to calculate
    this problem can be found on the product page of the McMaster catalog.

    PROBLEM 3:
    Consider the structure shown in Fig. 2. A beam of length L = 0.5 m is attached to a rigid wall.
    The beam has a regular hexagonal cross-section. A force F = 20 kN is applied axially to the
    beam (through the centroid). Using a design factor of nD = 3, which Super-Corrosion-Resistant
    316 Stainless Steel metric hexagonal bar would you purchase from McMaster-Carr
    (McMaster.com)? What is the resulting safety factor?

    HINT: Go to the McMaster website and search for Super-Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless
    Steel metric hexagonal bar. The item number starts with 89205K**. You need to determine
    what ** is (only consider the metric series). If you search for 89205K then you will need to scroll
    down until you find the metric hexagonal beams.
    Hand in:
    Dimensions and product # of the hexagonal beam you selected. Include your calculations.
