Part B Solid Mechanics (Total 50 marks)

Answer all these questions in the blue answer book. Clearly indicate Part B on the front of
the answer book.
Q1. A thin prismatic bar of specific weight g= and constant cross section hangs in the
vertical plane. Under the effect of its own weight, the displacement field can be described by

( 2 x ax2 y 2 ) u y = ( ax ) y
2E
E
z
The displacement in the
direction may be neglected ( u z=0 ). Determine the strain and
stress components in the bar at point P (1, 0). Use E = 200 GPa, = 0.3, = 78 kN/m3
and a = 5 m.

Q2. Determine whether the following stress distribution is a valid solution for a two-dimensional
problem
1
x =a x 2 y y =
a y 3 xy =a x y 2
3
where a is a constant. Body forces may be neglected.

Q3. A steel cylinder with an outer radius of 250 mm is shrunk over a solid steel shaft of 100 mm
radius. The radial interference is 0.15 mm. Determine the external pressure po to reduce the
hoop stress to zero at the inside of the cylinder. Use E = 210 GPa and = 0.3.

Q4. Consider a thin solid circular disk of radius 1 m made of aluminium ( = 2700 kg/m3, E
= 70 GPa and = 0.3), spinning at an angular speed = 500 rad/s, as shown in the figure
below. It has a small hole at point C (OC = 0.8 m). Determine the maximum tensile stress in the
disk.

Q5. A cube made of a soft linear elastic material is in a cavity of a steel box (as shown in the figure
below). The Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio of the material are E and , respectively.
The initial size of the cube is a a a and is exactly the same as that of the cavity. A force
P applied through a steel plate loads the top surface of the cube. The box and plate can be
considered as rigid compared with the cube material. The friction on the interfaces is negligible.
Determine (a) the stress state of the cube material, and (b) displacement of the rigid plate in terms
of its material properties, sizes, and the applied force.
