- If the load has a weight of 600 lb, determine the maximum normal stress on the cross section of the supporting member at section a–a. Also, plot the normalstress distribution over the cross section.arrow_forwardDetermine the normal stress and shear stress acting on the inclined plane AB. Sketch the result on the sectioned element.arrow_forwardThe plastic block is subjected to an axial compressive force of 600 N. Assuming that the caps at the top and bottom distribute the load uniformly throughout the block, determine the average normal and average shear stress acting along section a–a.arrow_forward
- The board is subjected to a tensile force of 200 lb. Determine the average normal and average shear stress in the wood fibers, which are oriented along plane a–a at 20° with the axis of the board.arrow_forwardDetermine the shear strain gxy at corners D and C if the plate distorts as shown by the dashed lines.arrow_forwardDetermine the maximum distance d to the edge of the plate at which the force P can be applied so that it produces no compressive stresses on the plate at section a–a.

- The A-36 steel bar consists of two segments, one of a circular cross-section of radius r, and one of square cross-section. If the bar is subjected to the axial loading of P, determine the dimensions of the square segment so that the strain energy within the square segment is the same as in the circular segment.arrow_forwardThe distributed loading is applied to the rigid beam, which is supported by the three bars. Each bar has a cross-sectional area of 1.25 in2 and is made from a material having a stress–strain diagram that can be approximated bythe two line segments. If a load of w = 25 kip>ft is applied to the beam, determine the stress in each bar and the vertical displacement of the beam.arrow_forwardThe plate has a thickness of 20 mm and the force P = 3 kN acts along the centerline of this thickness such that d = 150 mm. Plot the distribution of normal stress acting along section a–a.arrow_forward
- Determine the equivalent state of stress on an element at the same point that represents the maximum in-plane shear stress at the point.arrow_forwardThe 150 mm by 150 mm block of aluminum supports a compressive load of 6 kN. Determine the average normal and shear stress acting on the plane through section a–a. Show the results on a differential volume element located on the plane.arrow_forwardIf a horizontal load applied to the bar AC causes point A to be displaced to the right by an amount ΔL, determine the normal strain in the wire AB. Originally, u = 45°.arrow_forward
