A rectangular base plate is fixed at each of its four corners by
a 20 mm diameter bolt and nut as shown in the Figure below. The
plate rests on washers of 22 mm internal diameter and 50 mm
external diameter. Copper washers which are placed between the nut
and the plate are of 22 mm internal diameter and 44 mm external
diameter. If the base plate carries a load of 120 kN (including
self-weight, which is equally distributed on the four corners),(a)
calculate the stress, in ksi, on the lower washers before the nuts
are tightened. (b) What could be the stress, in ksi, in the upper
and lower washers, when the nuts are tightened so as to produce a
tension of 5 kN on each bolt? (c) With the resulting stress in (b),
determine the factors of safety of the bolt and the washers based
on the yield point. The bolt and nut are made of C1035, as rolled,
steel, and the washers are made aluminum alloy 2014-T6 Two solid shafts of different materials are rigidly fastened together and attached to rigid
supports 3 m apart shown in Fig.3. The aluminium segment is 2 m long and 7.5 cm in diameter
GAl=28GPa. The steel segment is 1 m long and has a diameter of 5cmGs=84GPa. The
torque T=1kN-m is applied at the junction of the two segments. Compute the maximum
shearing stress developed in the assembly.
