STRESS - unit strength of materials PROBLEM 4
where: 𝝈 = stress, Two plates, upper plate 15mm thick and lower plate 10mm thick, are
𝑷 joined by four rivets of 20 mm diameter as shown.
𝝈= 𝑨
P = force, Assume the load is equally divided among the rivets.
A = area
Normal Stress - either tensile or compressive stress produced
by force acting perpendicular to the area.
Bearing Stress – is the contact pressure between separate
bodies.
Shearing Stress – is produced whenever the applied load causes
sliding to the sections. It is either a single shear or double shear.

PROBLEM 1
Steel, timber, and concrete are used as a
column as shown in the figure. Each of the
material have a corresponding working
normal stress with a factor of safety of 1.5
for steel, 2.0 for timber, and 1.75 for
concrete. The cross-sectional areas and

A steel bar with a butt-welded joint, as shown below, will be used to carry
an axial tensile load of 500 kN. If the normal and shear stresses on the

respectively, determine the minimum thickness “t” required for the bar?

PROBLEM 2
The pole is supported by two cables of d1 =20 mm. The turnbuckles in the
cables are tightened until the stress in the cables reaches 415 MPa. If the
ultimate compressive stress for wood is 1.4 MPa, determine the smallest
permissible diameter, d2, of the pole if it will have a factor of safety of 2. [6

PROBLEM 6
The collar bearing shown is subject to a 300 kN force. The collar is 15
mm thick. Find “d” and “D” (to the nearest mm) so that the allowable
normal stress in the column is 150 MPa, the allowable shearing stress
in the collar is 200 MPa and the allowable bearing stress between
the collar and the support of 50 MPa is not exceeded.

PROBLEM 3
Three wood boards, each 4 in. wide, are joined by the 0.75-in.-diameter
bolt. If the working stresses for wood are 800 psi in tension and 1500 psi
in bearing, find the largest allowable value of the force P.
