Problem 1
Derive the function of the radial displacements ur ( ) versus for the ring of the
Figure 1. Then, plot the deformed shape of the ring, i.e. plot the function
R(=
) Ro + ur ( ) .
Data:
Ro =1.0 m
P=5 kN
I=5x10-10 m4
E=210 GPa

Problem 2
A cast iron push rod (E=117 GPa and =0.20) in a valve assembly is operated by a
steel cam (E=200 GPa and =0.29) (Figure 2). The cam is cylindrical in shape and
has a radius of curvature of 5.0 mm at its tip. The surface of the push rod that
contacts the cam is spherical in shape with a radius of curvature 4.0 m so that the
rod and cam are in point contact. If the allowable maximum principal stress for
cast iron is 1400 MPa, determine the maximum load that may act on the rod.
