Complex Loading Systems And Loaded Beams And Cylinders

In summary, the conversation discusses the properties and calculations related to a component made from a specific material and subjected to a compressive and shear force. The stress, strain, and changes in length and dimensions are calculated for both a circular and square section of the component. The equations used include stress = force/area, strain = change in length/ original length, and shear strain = shear stress/modulus of rigidity. The Poisons ratio is also mentioned as a factor in the calculations.

Hello this is my first post here so basically I've had my best crack at all the questions all I am really after is a bit or re assurance as to my answers and if any are wrong were I have gone wrong essentially. I've tried to include all my working out were possible.

1. Homework Statement

The component shown in Fig 1 is made from a material with the following properties and is subjected to a compressive force of 5kN.

fig1-jpg.74374.jpg


Material Properties :
Young’s Modulus of Elasticity – 200 GNm - 2
Modulus of Rigidity – 90 GNm - 2
Poisons ratio – 0.32

2. Homework Equations

Calculate :
(a) The stress in :
(i) the circular section
(ii) the square section

(b) The strain in :
(i) The circular section
(ii) The square section

(c) The change in length of the component

(d) The change in diameter of the circular section

(e) The change in the 40mm dimension on the square section

(f) If the same component were subjected to a shear force of 7 kN as shown in FIG 2, calculate the shear strain in :

(i) The circular section
(ii) The square section

3. The Attempt at a Solution

Calculate :
(a) The stress in :
(i) the circular section


Stress = Force / Area
Area of circular section = πr2
π(15)2 = 706.8583mm2
Answer : Stress = 5000 / 706.86 = - 7.07MPa

(ii) the square section

Stress = Force / Area
Area of the square section = length x height
40 x 40 = 1600mm2
Answer : Stress = 5000 / 1600 = - 3.125MPa

(b) The strain in :
(i) The circular section


ε = dl / l0 = σ / E
σ = F / A = 7.07MPa
E = 200GN / m - 2 = 200000MPa
7.07 / 200000 = 0.00003535
Answer: Strain = - 3.535 x 10 - 5


(ii) The square section

ε = dl / l0 = σ / E

σ = F / A = 3.125MPa
E = 200GN / m - 2 = 200000MPa
3.125 / 200000 = 0.000015625

Answer: Strain = - 1.5625 x 10 - 5


(c) The change in length of the component

ε = dl / l0

For the Cylinder Section
ε = 3.535 x 10 - 5
l0 = 60
dl = ε x l0
dl = 3.535 x 10 - 5 x 60 = 0.002121
= - 2.121 x 10 - 3

For the Square Section

ε = 1.5625 x 10 - 5
l0 = 60
dl = ε x l0
dl = 1.5625 x 10 - 5 x 60 = 0.005625
= - 5.625 x 10 - 3

Adding the two changes together
- 2.121 x 10 - 3 + - 5.625 x 10 - 3
= - 0.007746

Answer Change in Length = - 7.75mm

(d) The change in diameter of the circular section

Change in Diameter = - original diameter x poisions ratio x (Change in length / Original length)
- 30 x 0.32 x ( - 7.75 / 60 ) = 1.24

Answer Change in diameter = 1.24mm

(e) The change in the 40mm dimension on the square section

Poisions ratio (v) = εx / εz = - εy / εz
εx = εy = - vεz
= - 0.32 x -1.5625 x 10 - 5
= 0.000005
Δx = εxx0 = 0.000005 x 40 = 0.0002

Δx = εyy0 = 0.000005 x 40 = 0.0002
Answer Change in dimension on the square section
= 2 x 10 - 4

(f) If the same component were subjected to a shear force of 7 kN as shown in FIG 2, calculate the shear strain in :

eng2-jpg.75688.jpg


(i) The circular section

Stress = 7000 / 706.86 = 9.9029MPa
Shear Strain = Shear Stress / Modulus of Rigidity
Modulus of Rigidity = 90GN/m - 2
= 90000MPa
Shear Strain = 9.9029 / 90000 = 1.1003 x 10 - 4

Answer Shear Strain = 1.1003 x 10 - 4

(ii) The square section

Stress = 7000 / 1600 = 4.375MPa
Shear Strain = Shear Stress / Modulus of Rigidity
Modulus of Rigidity = 90GN/m - 2
= 90000MPa
Shear Strain = 4.375 / 90000 = 4.86 x 10 - 5

Answer Shear Strain = 4.86 x 10 - 5

1. What is a complex loading system?

A complex loading system is a mechanical system that applies multiple forces and/or moments on a structure or component. This can include static, dynamic, or cyclical loads that act at various points and directions.

2. How do loaded beams and cylinders behave under different loading conditions?

The behavior of loaded beams and cylinders is dependent on the type and magnitude of the applied loads. Under static loading, they will experience stress and strain, while under dynamic loading, they may experience fatigue and failure. The shape and material properties of the beam or cylinder also play a significant role in its behavior.

3. What are some common methods for analyzing complex loading systems?

Finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) are two commonly used methods for analyzing complex loading systems. These methods use mathematical models to simulate the behavior of the system under various loading conditions and can provide valuable insights into stress, strain, and deformation.

4. How can the design of a loaded beam or cylinder be optimized for specific loading conditions?

The design of a loaded beam or cylinder can be optimized by considering factors such as the material properties, geometry, and loading conditions. This can involve using techniques such as stress analysis and material selection to ensure that the structure can withstand the applied loads without failure or excessive deformation.

5. What are some real-world applications of complex loading systems and loaded beams and cylinders?

Complex loading systems and loaded beams and cylinders are commonly used in various industries, such as aerospace, automotive, and civil engineering. They can be found in structures such as bridges, buildings, and vehicles, and are crucial for ensuring the safety and reliability of these systems under different loading conditions.
