- Two steel plates are to be held together by means of 16-mm-diameter high-strength steel bolts fitting snugly inside cylindrical brass spacers. Knowing that the average normal stress must not exceed 205 MPa in the bolts and 132 MPa in the spacers, determine the outer diameter of the spacers that yields the most economical and safe design. The outer diameter of the spacers that yields the most economical and safe design is mm.arrow_forwardEach of the three aluminum bars shown is to be twisted through an angle of 2.1°. Knowing that b = 30 mm, τall = 50 MPa, and G = 27 GPa, determine the shortest allowable length of each bar. Refer to Table 3.1. The shortest allowable length of bar (a) is mm.

The rods are made of high-strength steel and, for storage and transportation, are wrapped on spools of 5-ft diameter. Assuming that the yield strength is not exceeded, determine (a) the maximum stress in a rod, when the rod, which was initially straight, is wrapped on the spool, (b) the corresponding bending moment in the rod. Use E= 29 * 106 psi.arrow_forward
