Tension, Compression, Shear Problem.

[dww47]

Homework Statement

A solid steel bar of diameter d₁ = 60 mm has a hole of diameter d₂ = 32 mm drilled through it. A steel pin of diameter d₂ passes through the hole and is attached to supports.

Determine the maximum permissible tensile load P_allow in the bar.

-Yield stress for shear in pin is τ_Y = 120 MPa.
-Yield stress for tension in bar is σ_Y = 250 MPa.
-Factor of safety n = 2.0.

Homework Equations

σ_allow = σ_Y / n

τ_allow = τ_Y / n

In direct tension and compression:

P_allow = σ_allowA

If compression, and a pin is present:

P_allow = τ_allowA

Area of regular cross section in bar is area of circle.

Area of cross section with pin present requires additional steps. Because I do not have any images, I can only do my best to explain.

The area of a "circle with a core removed" (side view of a pin through bar), is

A = 2r²(α - (ab)/r²)

The Attempt at a Solution

It would be very hard to show my steps of determining the area, but I know the area is correct. I calculated the area of the cross-section with a pin to be

A = 0.0010028 m².

This is after all the correct conversions and formulas to determine, as outlined in the appendix of my book.

I recognize that because this bar is in tension, the pin does not factor in. I use the equation:

P_allow = σ_allowA

P_allow = (250MPa / 2.0)(0.0010028)
P_allow = 0.12535 MPa*m²

0.12535 MPa*m² * 10⁶ Pa/MPa = 125350 Pa*m²

I know a pascal(Pa) is equivalent to 1 N/m². The m² cancels out, leaving

125350 N.

The solutions in my book says the answer should be 95.6 kN. My answer is 125.35 kN. I was wondering if the book was wrong, or if I'd messed up somewhere?

Thanks for any help. This is my first of hopefully not many posts. Any feedback regarding both my work and the format of my question would be appreciated! :)

You forgot to check the shear allowable in the pin, which may govern. Note also that I get 96.5 kN as the max permissible tensile load in the bar, with a FS = 2.0

I've gone over the problem with a friend. I saw that I was supposed to account for the shear in the pin. I guess I misunderstood the reading.

Thanks for the help regardless!

Great, that was a nice clearly presented solution methodology.

Hello,

Thank you for providing your work and question. Your approach and calculations seem to be correct. The area of the cross-section with the pin present is calculated correctly and the final result of 125.35 kN is also correct. It is possible that there may be a mistake in the book's solution. I would recommend double checking your work and potentially reaching out to your instructor for clarification. Great job on your work and thank you for using proper formatting in your question. I hope this helps. Keep up the good work!
