QUESTION 1 [25 MARKS]

a) The truss is made from three pin-connected members having the cross-sectional areas
shown in the Figure la. Determine the average normal stress developed in each member
when the truss is subjected to the load P = 2.5 kN shown in the figure. State whether the

b) A square hollow bar is shown in Figure lb. Determine the permanent elongation of the
bar when the axial force P = 360 kN is applied on it and released. The bar is made of a
metal alloy having a stress-strain diagram which can be approximated as shown in the
figure.

QUESTION 2 [25 MARKS]

a) If the gap between C and the rigid wall at D is initially 0.15 mm as shown in Figure 2a,
determine the support reactions at A and D when the force P = 200 kN is applied. The
(10 Marks)

assembly is made of A-36 steel. (Esteei = 200GPa).

Figure 2a
b) The assembly consists of three titanium (Ti-6A1-4V) rods and a rigid bar AC. The crosssectional area of each rod is given in the Figure 2b. If a force of 30 kN is applied to the
ring F, determine the horizontal displacement of point F.

QUESTION 3 [25 MARKS]

a) The A-36 steel shaft has a diameter of 50 mm and is fixed at its ends A and B. If it is
subjected to the torque shown in Figure 3a, determine the maximum shear stress in
regions AC and CB of the shaft.

b) The motor, shown in Figure 3b, delivers 32 kW to the 304 stainless steel solid shaft while
it rotates at 20 Hz. The shaft has a diameter of 37.5 mm and is supported on smooth
bearings at A and B, which allow free rotation of the shaft. The gears C and D fixed to the
shaft remove 20 kW and 12 kW, respectively. Determine the absolute maximum stress in
