Leaning objectives

After the session you will be able to use appropriate tools to evaluate the following:

F= Axial Force (Newtons, N) A = Cross-Sectional Area Perpendicular to F (mm2) E = Youngs Modulus of Material, MPa L = Original Length of Component, mm

= Average Stress (N/mm2 or MPa) = Total Deformation (mm) AE = Axial Stiffness of Component

Direct Shear Stress

Area of bolt (Ab) = p D2 / 4 = p (13)2 / 4 = 132.7 mm2 A resisting shear = 2 Ab

avg = P / 2Ab = 50000 N/ 2(132.7) mm2 = 188.4 MPa

Find the load P, such that the stress in the weld does not exceed the allowable stress limit of 80 MPa.

Solution:

avg = P / Aw = 80 MPa
Aw = Throat x Total Length = (9.2)(175)(2) = 3217 mm2 P / 3217 = 80 MPa P = (3217)(80) N = 257386 N = 257 kN

Example #1

A 20mm20mm square cross-section aluminum bar is 400mm in length. If the bar is subjected to an 1kN pull; use MATLAB (or otherwise) calculate:
the stress in the bar, and b) the extension under this load Assume that the elastic modulus for aluminum is 70GPa.
a)

Example #1 (solution)
The stress can be evaluated via the definition: = F/ A = 1000N/(10mm10mm) =1000N/400mm2=2.5MPa b) The strain can now be found, thus: = /E=2.5MPa/70GPa = 0.3714m/m The displacement can now be calculated: = lo= 0.3714 10-6400 =0.0142mm
