Middle East Technical University Department of Mechanical Engineering ME 206 Strength of Materials Spring 2013-2014 Homework 6 Due: 2 May

2014, 11:30 (C-204) 1) The beam has a rectangular cross section. If it is subjected to a bending moment of M = 3500 Nm directed as shown, determine the maximum bending stress in the beam and the orientation of the neutral axis.

2)

The resultant internal moment acting on the cross section of the aluminum strut has a magnitude of M = 520 Nm and is directed as shown. Determine the maximum bending stress in the strut. The location y of the centroid C of the strut's cross-sectional area must be determined. Also, specify the orientation of the neutral axis.

3)

The shaft is subjected to the vertical and horizontal loadings of two pulleys D and E as shown. It is supported on two journal bearings at A and B which offer no resistance to axial loading. Furthermore, the coupling to the motor at C can be assumed not to offer any support to the shaft. Determine the required diameter d of the shaft if the allowable bending stress for the material is all = 180 MPa.

4)

The Z section has principal moments of inertia of Iy = 0.060(10-3) m4 and Iz = 0.471(10-3) m4, computed about the principal axes of inertia y and z, respectively. If the section is subjected to an internal moment of M = 250 Nm directed horizontally as shown, determine the stress produced at point B.
