Engineering Normal and Shearing Stress - Combined Loading

[erobz]

Homework Statement

Determine the normal and shear stresses developed at the points of interest.

Relevant Equations

Strength of Materials

Normal Stress $\sigma$:

$\sigma = \frac{F}{A}$ - tensile/compressive
$\sigma = \frac{Mr}{I}$ - bending

Shear Stress $\tau$:

$\tau = \frac{Tr}{J}$ - Torsion
$\tau = \frac{QV}{It}$ -Shear Flow

Here is my combined loading:

The book solution for normal and shear stresses respectively are:

a) $20.4~\text{MPa}, 14.34 ~\text{MPa}$ - I find both

b) $-21.5~\text{MPa}, \boxed{19.98~\text{MPa}}$ - I find the normal stress, but I'm not getting the book answer for the shear stress.

I'm getting Torsion + Shear Flow $\approx 25.6 \text{MPa}$

I'm just brushing up for the heck of it...No professor to ask. Does anyone get solution in the book?

I may be wrong, but for the cross-section shared by points a and b, my values are:

Fx = 0
Mx = 90 kN-mm

Fy = 1.5 kN
My = 108 kN-mm

Fz = 1.2 kN
Mz = 67.5 kN-mm

Would you mind to verify?

Sorry, I had some bad editing there. Yeah, those match my values.

Never mind. I believe I found the problem. For the shear flow in a pipe (or other closed tubular geometry depending on position I suppose):

$$\tau = \frac{QV}{I (2t)} $$

Its either that or you only use a quarter of the pipe in $Q$ computation( I was using a half - with single wall thickness). To use a single pipe wall thickness $t$, the first moment $Q$ is computed for one quarter of the pipe.Adding that to the Torsion gets me the book answer...

Here is my worked solution if anyone is interested.
