UML Assignment Help: Problem 1

The document contains 4 problems related to structural analysis and material properties: 1) Derive the governing differential equation for buckling of a pin-ended rod under axial compression, and discuss how the equation would change for a rod with an initial deformed shape. 2) Calculate the angle of twist for a thin-walled shaft made of aluminum alloy subjected to a distributed torque. 3) Estimate the toughness of adhesive tape by calculating the work required to pull it off a roll, and determine the maximum crack size tolerable before fast fracture for a 2024 aluminum alloy. 4) Sketch a stress-strain curve and identify regions such as work hardening and ultimate strength, explain causes of

UML Assignment Help


Problem 1

A pin-ended rod of length L and flexural rigidity El is loaded with an


axial compressive load. Derive (i.e. set up) the governing
differential equation that will allow you to calculate the critical
buckling load (do not solve the equation). Note: simply stating the
equation is not sufficient to earn full credit.
b) The rod is supported with an additional pin/roller support at
its mid point. What is the critical buckling load for this
configuration?
c) Discuss how your solution approach and resulting solution to part
(a) would be modified if the rod had an initial deformed shape given
by W - W0 sin — L where this represents a small deviation from the
straight rod of part (a). Do not solve for the deformed shape.
Problem 2
A thin walled shaft, length 3m, with a circular cross section of
radius 50 mm and wall thickness 2 mm is subjected to a
distributed torque of lkNm/m acting along its length. The shaft is
made of an aluminum alloy, with a Young's modulus of 70 GPa, a
shear modulus of 27 GPa and a tensile yield strength of 500 MPa.
b) calculate the angle of twist of the lip of the
shaft.
Problem 3
a) I find that I can pull adhesive tape (e.g. Scotch Tape) off a roll with
a constant force of 1 N. The tape is 10 mm wide. If the tape does
not stretch significantly at this load estimate the toughness (in
J/m2) of the adhesive on the tape.
b) For 2024 T3 aluminum alloy the fracture toughness is 44 MPaVm
and the yield strength is 345 MPa. What is the maximum crack size
that can be tolerated for yield to octur rather than fast fracture?

Problem 4
i) Sketch the stress-strain curve for a metallic alloy and indicate
the yield stress, the region where work hardening occurs and the
ultimate tensile strength.
ii) What mechanism(s) is(are) responsible for causing work-
hardening?
ii) Explain the experimental observation that low yield stress metals
such as solders or pure metals are much more susceptible to
fatigue failure than high strength metal alloys.

iv) Trusses are generally found to be the most structurally efficient


configuration for carrying a given load for a minimum mass
structure — as can be seen by the fact that trusses are often used
for spacecraft structures where aerodynamic considerations are not
a concern. Why are beams less structurally efficient than trusses?.
