Tutorial 1

This document contains a tutorial sheet with 5 questions regarding stress analysis of mechanical engineering components. Question 1 involves calculating stresses from a tensile test of a steel rod. Question 2 asks for the required diameter of an axle carrying a flywheel. Question 3 determines the diameter of a solid shaft transmitting power, and compares it to a hollow shaft. Question 4 calculates stresses in a hollow shaft under twisting and axial loads. Question 5 uses Mohr's circle to find the resultant stress on an inclined plane.

(Basics of stress analysis)

Q1. A mild steel rod of 12 mm diameter was tested for tensile strength with the gauge length of 60 mm.
Following observations were recorded:
Final length = 80 mm , Final diameter = 7 mm , Yield load = 3.4 kN and Ultimate load = 6.1 kN .
Calculate: a) yield stress, b) ultimate tensile stress, c) percentage reduction in area and d) percentage
elongation. [Ans: 30.1 MPa, 54 MPa, 66%, 33%]

Q2. An axle 1 m long supported in bearings at its ends carries a fly wheel weighing 30 kN at the centre.
If the stress (bending) is not to exceed 60 MPa, find the required diameter of the axle. [Ans: 108.4 mm]

Q3. A solid cylindrical shaft is to transmit 300 kW at 100 rpm


a) If the shear stress is not to exceed 80 MN/m2, find its diameter.
b) What percentage saving in weight would be obtained if this shaft is replaced by a hollow shaft,
whose internal diameter equals 0.6 of the external diameter, the length, the material and maximum
shear stress being the same? [Ans: 122.2 mm, 29.8%]

Q4. A hollow shaft of 40 mm outer diameter and 25 mm inner diameter is subjected to a twisting
moment of 120 Nm and simultaneously; it is subjected to an axial thrust of 10 kN and a bending
moment of 80 Nm. Calculate the maximum compressive and shear stresses.[Ans: 25.4 MPa, 11.3 MPa]

Q5. At a point in a bracket, the stresses on two mutually perpendicular planes are 35 MN/m2 (tensile)
and 15 MN/m2 (tensile). The shear stress across these planes is 9 MN/m2. Find the magnitude and
direction of the resultant stress on a plane making an angle of 40° with the plane of first stress using
analytical method and Mohr’s circle. [Ans: 36.79 MPa, 14.61°]
