A straight strut of cross section 12.5 mm by 5 mm, and length 1 m is mounted on strut testing machine, and then loaded axially until it buckles. The fixtures at the strut ends are pin - joints. If the maximum central deflection of the strut at failure is 0.20 m, determine the yield stress of the strut. you are given the strut material stiffness of 210 GPa.

The cross section of the cantilever beam loaded as shown in Fig. 8-20 is rectangular, 50 × 75 mm. The bar, 1 m long, is aluminum for which E = 65 GPa. Determine the permissible maximum intensity of loading if the maximum deflection is not to exceed 5 mm and the maximum stress is not to exceed 50 MPa. Ans. w0 = 14.1 kN/m and 17.1 kN/m. Select 14.1 kN/m. oment 3 Fig. 8-20 oment 3 Fig. 8-20
A 3 m rigid bar AB is supported with a vertical translational spring at A and a pin at B The bar is subjected to a linearly varying distributed load with maximum intensity g Calculate the vertical deformation of the spring if the spring constant is 700 kN/m. (ans: 21.43 mm) 2. A steel cable with a nominal diameter of 25 mm is used in a construction yard to lift a bridge section weighing 38 kN. The cable has an...
