(Procedure: Consider a Free Body Diagram of each body separately and solve each problem
separately. Then apply a contact condition at the interface, i.e. answer in your mind the question:
the amount of displacement that the rod gets squeezed in plus the amount the cylinder gets
squeezed out have to add up to how much?). y
3- Consider the beam problem shown where a linearly varying pressure is applied on y=-h/2.
(a) Show that the Airy stress function
furnishes the stress field for this problem assuming no body forces.
(b) Assume that the beam will fail at location x=2L/3 and y=h/2 and that the material fails under
a Von Mises criterion with a critical stress of σ*. Find the maximum allowable value of P0 under
(i) Plane strain conditions and (ii) Plane stress conditions.
