Shearing Stress

Two 6 in. wide wooden boards are to be joined by splice plates that will be fully glued on the contact surfaces. The glue to be used can safely provide shear strength of 120 psi. Determine the smallest allowable length L that can be used for the splice plates for an applied load of P = 10,000 lb. Note that a gap of 0.5 in. is required between boards (1) and (2).

A coupling is used to connect a 2 in. diameter plastic pipe (1) to a 1.5 in. diameter pipe (2), as shown. If the average shear stress in the adhesive must be limited to 400 psi, determine the minimum lengths L1 and L2 required for the joint if the applied load P is 5,000 lb.

Shearing Stress

A lever is attached to a shaft with a square shear key, as shown. The force applied to the lever is P = 400 N. If the shear stress in the key must not exceed 90 MPa, determine the minimum dimension a that must be used if the key is 15 mm long.

A common trailer hitch connection is shown in Fig. P1.26. The shear stress in the pin must be limited to 30,000 psi. If the applied load is P = 4,000 lb, determine the minimum diameter that must be used for the pin.

Shearing Stress

An axial load P is supported by a short steel column, which has a crosssectional area of 11,400 mm2. If the average normal stress in the steel column must not exceed 110 MPa, determine the minimum required dimension a so that the bearing stress between the base plate an d the concrete slab does not exceed 8 MPa.
