2. Stress state is given as σχ=-29-5 MPa, y=-29-5 MPa and xy = 27 MPa. Using Mohr’s circle, determine (a) the principal stresses and (b) the maximum shear stresses and associated normal stresses. Show all results on sketches of properly oriented elements.

3. A cantilever beam with a rectangular cross-section has a longitudinal hole drilled throughout its length is shown in Fig. 1. The beam supports a load P= 600 N. The cross- section is 25 mm wide and 50 mm high and the hole has a diameter of 10 mm. Find the bending stresses at the top of the beam, at the top of the hole and at the bottom of the beam.

4. A gas storage tank is fabricated by bolting together two half-cylindrical thin shells with two hemispherical shells at end. If the tank is designed to withstand a pressure of 3 MPa, determine the required minimum thickness of the cylindrical and hemi- spherical shells and the minimum required number of longitudinal bolts per meter length at each side of the cylindrical shell. The tank and the 25 mm diameter bolts are made from material having an allowable normal stress of 150 MPa and 250 MPa,

5. A cylindrical spring consists of a rubber annulus bonded to a rigid ring and shaft. If the ring is held fixed and a torque Tis applied to the shaft, derive the maximum shear stress in the rubber shown in Fig. 3.

6. Derive the equations of the elastic curve for the beam using the x₁ and x2 coordinates. El is constant shown in Fig. 4.

7. Derive Euler’s buckling formula for a column with both end clamped and obtain the effective length as well. Draw the free body diagram with buckled configuration.

8. The vertical force Pacts on the bottom of the plate having a negligible weight. Determine the shortest distance d to the edge of the plate at which it can be applied so that it produces no compressive stresses on the plate at section a-a. The plate has a thickness of 10 mm and Pacts along the center line of this thickness shown in Fig. 5.

9. Draw the shear and moment diagrams for the beam and determine the shear and moment throughout the beam as functions of x shown in Fig. 6.
