1. A hollow steel shaft 2.5m long must transmit a torque of 25KN.m.

The total angle of twist

over the length of the shaft is not to exceed 20 and the maximum allowable shearing stress is
82 MN/m2. Find the dimension of the shaft, i.e., its inside and outside diameter.
2. A composite shaft is made up of an inner circular cylinder of elastic material with shear
modulus 1 and an outer circular annulus of elastic material with shear modulus 2. The
materials are bonded securely at the interface r1. Derive formulas for the twist angle and
for the shear stress
which results from the application of the twisting moment Mt.

3. A cast-iron T beam is to carry a distributed load of intensity

over a span of 10 as shown.
The beam is of depth and the flange width is . Cast iron fractures in tension at a stress
approximately one-third of that for which failure occurs in compression. Assuming that the
stresses are low enough so that Hookes law is a good assumption, find the value of for
which the maximum tensile bending stress
will be one third that of the maximum
compressive bending stress . Find also the maximum load intensity
which can be
carried for a given value of .

4. A straight, thin steel strip of thickness and width is clamped to a rigid block of radius
with a length
extending from the clamp. The end of the strip is loaded with a force
sufficient to bring the strip into contact with the block over a distance . Assuming
that
, find the distribution of force between the strip and the block in the region BC.
Find also the magnitude of the force in terms of the dimensions of the strip and the block
(and any other quantities deemed necessary).

5. A metal rod is bent into a circular arc of radius with an arc of 2700. One end of the rod is
fixed so that the arc lies in a horizontal plane. Given the magnitude and location of the
maximum bending and twisting moments when a weight is hung first at A, then B, then C.

6. A long thin-walled cylinder tank just fits in a rigid cylindrical cavity when there is no pressure
in the tank. Estimate the tangential stress in the cylindrical-tank wall when the pressure in
the tank is and the material of which the tank is made of follows Hookes law.

7. A thin-walled cylindrical tank with its ends closed by thick plates is put under internal
pressure. Derive an expression for the ratio of the change in length to the change in
diameter.

8. A long cylindrical pressure vessel with closed ends is to be made by rolling a strip of plastic of
thickness and width into a helix and making a continuous fused joint, as illustrated. It is
desired to subject the fused joint to a tensile stress only 80 percent of the maximum in the
parent plastic. What is the maximum allowable width of the strip?

9. A thin-walled cylindrical tank of radius , thickness , and length is supported at its ends. It
is filled with a heavy liquid which is vented to the atmosphere. If the weight of the tank is
negligible compared with the weight of the liquid, show that the maximum bending stress in
the tank is independent of the radius of the tank.

10. A beam made of two identical metal bars soldered together. What is the ratio of the
stiffness of this beam to the stiffness of a beam in which the two bars are not soldered and
act independently? What is the ratio of the maximum bending stress for the two cases?
