Around steel bar, made from material with a yield stress of 750mpa, is loaded so that it has stresses co locations of maximum normal stress and maximum shear stress. use maximum shear stress and maximum distortion energy theories to calculate the safety factors for initial yielding failures.
Two slings are used to lift a girder of length l and uniform weight per unit length. what is the best position for the slings if the bending moment due to the weight of the girder is to be kept to a minimum?
What is the maximum height from which a mass of 30 kg can fall on to a flange on the lower end of a vertical rod of length 1.0 m and diameter 20 mm, the upper end being rigidly fixed, if the stress in the rod is not to exceed 80 mpa? the tensile modulus of the rod is 200 gpa.
