STRENGTH OF MATERIALS

1. Figure P-130 shows a roof truss and the detail of the riveted connection at joint B. Using
allowable stresses of τ = 70 MPa and σb= 140 MPa, how many 19-mm-diameter rivets are
required to fasten member BC to the gusset plate? Member BE? What is the largest average
tensile or compressive stress in BC and BE?

111111

Solution
At Joint C:

ΣFV=0
BC=96kN
BC=96kN (Tension)

Consider the section through member BD, BE, and CE:

ΣMA=0
8(35BE)=4(96)8(35BE)=4(96)
BE=80kN
BE=80kN (Compression)

For Member BC:

Based on shearing of rivets:
BC=τABC=τA Where A = area of 1 rivet × number of rivets, n
96000=70[14π(192)n]96000=70[14π(192)n]
n=4.8n=4.8 say 5 rivets

Based on bearing of member:

BC=σbAbBC=σbAb Where Ab = rivet diameter × thickness of BC × n rivets
96000=140[19(6)n]96000=140[19(6)n]
n=6.02n=6.02 say 7 rivets

Use 7 rivets for member BC. answer

For member BE:

Based on shearing of rivets:
BE=τABE=τA Where A = area of 1 rivet × number of rivets, n
80000=70[14π(192)n]80000=70[14π(192)n]
n=4.03 n=4.03 say 5 rivets

Based on bearing of member:

BE=σbAbBE=σbAb Where Ab = rivet diameter × thickness of BE × n
rivets
80000=140[19(13)n]80000=140[19(13)n]
n=2.3n=2.3 say 3 rivets

Use 5 rivets for member BE. Answer

2.)

Solution 403
From the load diagram:

ΣMB=0
5RD+1(30)=3(50)5RD+1(30)=3(50)
RD=24kN

ΣMD=0ΣMD=0
5RB=2(50)+6(30)5RB=2(50)+6(30)
RB=56kN
SEGMENT AB

VAB=−30kN
MAB=−30xkN⋅mMAB=−30xkN⋅m

SEGMENT BC

VBC=−30+56VBC=−30+56
VBC=26kNVBC=26kN
MBC=−30x+56(x−1)MBC=−30x+56(x−1)
 MBC=26x−56kN⋅mMBC=26x−56kN⋅m

SEGMENT CD

VCD=−30+56−50VCD=−30+56−50
VCD=−24kNVCD=−24kN

MCD=−30x+56(x−1)−50(x−4)MCD=−30x+56(x−1)−50(x−4)
MCD=−30x+56x−56−50x+200MCD=−30x+56x−56−50x+200
MCD=−24x+144kN⋅mMCD=−24x+144kN⋅m

To draw the Shear Diagram:

1. In segment AB, the shear is uniformly distributed over the segment at a magnitude of -30
kN.
2. In segment BC, the shear is uniformly distributed at a magnitude of 26 kN.
3. In segment CD, the shear is uniformly distributed at a magnitude of -24 kN.

To draw the Moment Diagram:

1. The equation MAB = -30x is linear, at x = 0, MAB = 0 and at x = 1 m, MAB = -30 kN·m.
2. MBC = 26x - 56 is also linear. At x = 1 m, MBC = -30 kN·m; at x = 4 m, MBC = 48 kN·m. When
MBC = 0, x = 2.154 m, thus the moment is zero at 1.154 m from B.
3. MCD = -24x + 144 is again linear. At x = 4 m, MCD = 48 kN·m; at x = 6 m, MCD = 0.
3.) A 200-mm-diameter pulley is prevented from rotating relative to 60-mm-diameter shaft
by a 70-mm-long key, as shown in Fig. P-118. If a torque T = 2.2 kN·m is applied to the
shaft, determine the width b if the allowable shearing stress in the key is 60 MPa

T=0.03FT=0.03F
