Question no.

1:
A beam having a T section with the dimensions shown in Fig. is subjected to a bending moment of 1600 N m that causes tension at the top surface. Locate the neutral axis and find the maximum tensile and compressive bending stresses.

Question no.2:
A beam 12 in long is to support a load of 488 lbf acting 3 in from the left support, as shown in Fig. a. Basing the design only on bending stress, a designer has selected a 3-in aluminum channel with the cross-sectional dimensions shown. If the direct shear is neglected, the stress in the beam may be actually higher than the designer thinks. Determine the principal stresses considering bending and direct shear and compare them with that considering bending only.

Question no.3:
Find the reactions at the supports and plot the shear-force and bending-moment diagrams for each of the beams shown in the figure

Question no.4:
An aluminum-alloy pressure vessel is made of tubing having an outside diameter of 8 in and a wall thickness of 0.25 in. (a) What pressure can the cylinder carry if the permissible tangential stress is 12 kpsi and the theory for thin-walled vessels is assumed to apply? (b) On the basis of the pressure found in part (a), compute all of the stress components using the theory for thick-walled cylinders.

Question no.5:
A pressure cylinder has a diameter of 150 mm and has a 6-mm wall thickness. What pressure can this vessel carry if the maximum shear stress is not to exceed 25 MPa?
