Concept explainers

Forming and Shaping

Metal forming is a category of metalworking process through which the material can be given the desired shape and size by subjecting it to plastic deformation, where the component undergoes bulk deformation process upon application of loads. Unlike the shearing and machining process, the material does not undergo up to a failure point as indicated in the stress-strain curve. Hence, the stresses induced during the forming process are greater than yield strength but less than the failure strength of the material. The process does not lead to the loss of material, so it can be said to be an economical process. During forming, the material is subjected to tensile forces, compressive forces, bending, and shearing loading conditions. The material should possess the property of ductility to undergo the forming process.

Problem 1): A circular pipe girder is constructed from 80mm external diameter and 60 mm internal diameter. Three such girders are mounted vertically one at equal angles of a circular horizontal platform which the girders support. The platform is 5 m above ground level and weighs (0.1*B) KN. The platform supports an additional central load of (0.2*B) KN. The weight of the girders may not be neglected. The density of the material from which the girders are constructed is (290*B) kg/m3. Assuming that each girder supports an equal share of the load, determine the compressive stresses set up in the material of each girder:1- At the lower point of the girder.2- At the middle point of the girder.3- At the upper point of the girder.
