PLEASE DO NOT COPY AND COMPLETE ALL PARTS FOR POSITIVE FEEDBACK! UPVOTE
The structural part of a setup to measure net belt tensions in pulleys is shown in the figure. The belt tensions
at both sides of the pulley at B(radius 10 cm ) are P and F=0.1**P along z and a reaction force is measured
from the pulley at C(radius 2 cm ), which is connected to a load cell at E with an axial member parallel to
x. Pulleys are rigidly attached to rod AD, which is made with a ductile steel rod 60 cm long and 1.27 cm in
diameter. Length AB=0.20m, and length DC=0.15m. There is a spherical hinge at A and a plane hinge at
D. The latter constrains motion in the x-z plane only.
a.- Draw bending moment and torsion diagrams for this structure as functions of the unknown tension P
and use them to draw a diagram of the critical section showing internal loads (bending and torsion moments)
and the critical points.
b.- Use your results from part a to determine the maximum normal stress due to bending and the maximum
shear stress due to torsion in terms of the unknown tension P . Calculate the maximum value that P can have
if only bending stresses are considered (with allow=350MPa ) and then if only torsion stresses are
considered (with allow=175MPa ).
