Question: A cylindrical support column at a construction site needs to withstand a compressive axial load of ( 9 0 , 0 0 0
A cylindrical support column at a construction site needs to withstand a compressive axial load of mathrm~N while also being subjected to a twisting torque of mathrm~Ncdot mathrm~m due to equipment vibrations. The column has a diameter of mm and is firmly anchored at its base. The column is made of a brittle material.
The material properties are as follows:
Ultimate compressive strength, sigma cmathrmMPa
Ultimate tensile strength, sigma mathrmtmathrmMPa
Engineers need to evaluate whether the column will fail under these combined loading conditions using the Mohr's failure criterion for brittle materials.
a Calculate the principal stresses at the critical point on the surface of the column.
b Identify the orientation of the principal stresses relative to the column's axis.
c Determine if the column is safe or will fail under the applied loads using the Mohr's failure criterion.
