A joint is made by gluing two plywood gussets
of thickness t to wood boards. The tensile
working stresses are 1200 psi for the plywood
and 700 psi for the boards. The working shear
stress for the glue is 50 psi. Determine the
dimensions b and t so that the joint is as
strong as the boards.

06.
A steel bar with a butt-welded joint will be used
to carry an axial tensile load of 500 kN. If the
normal shear stress on the plane of the butt
weld must be limited to 75 MPa and 45 MPa,
respectively, determine the minimum thickness
t required for the bar

The shearing stress on plane a-a of the 5 x 10-in
rectangular block is 5 ksi when the axial load P is
applied. If the angle is 30, determine

a. The load P
b. The normal stress on plane a-a
c. The maximum normal and shear stresses
in the block

a point on the outside surface of a solid circular
bar subjected to an axial load P and a torsional
load T as shown in figure. The normal stress on
the inclined plane a-b is 25 MPa (T). Determine
a. The normal stress on the vertical plane
b. The magnitude and direction of the
shear stress on the inclined plane a-b The slope of the plane a-b =

A wood beam carries the loading shown in
the figure. Determine the smallest allowable
width b of the beam if the working stress in
bending is 10 MPa.
