Two steel plates, both 16 mm thick with fy = 450 MPa and fu 600 MPa,...
Question 1 (30 Marks) Plate A is fillet-welded to Plate B as shown in Figure 1. Plate A and Plate B have the same material properties Both plates are 10 mm thick. There are two holes (with a diameter of d) in Plate A. It is assumed that weld failure will not occur (a) If Plate A has a yield stress (fy) of 350 MPa and an ultimate tensile strength (fu) of 450 MPa, what is the maximum load (P)...
Q4. Three steel plates, each 16 mm thick, are joined by two 20-mm diameter rivets as shown in the figure. Determine the following: a. If the load P = 50 kN, what is the largest bearing stress acting on the rivets? b. If the ultimate shear stress for the rivets is 180 MPa, what force Pult is required to cause the rivets to fail in shear? (Disregard friction between the plates.) P/2 P/2 OO
A steel (KIC = 132 MPa√m) ship deck plate is 30 mm thick and 12 m wide. It is loaded with a uniaxial tensile stress of 50 MPa and is in an enviroment below the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature. If a crack of length 2a=65 mm is present, find the factor of safety with respect to failure under the current loading conditions and estimate the tensile stress at which catastrophic failure will occur. You may assume β = 1.
