Question: Q 4 A solid titanium alloy right - angled rod ( A B C ) ( Fig . Q 4 ) is fixed

Q4
A solid titanium alloy right-angled rod \( A B C \)(Fig. Q4) is fixed into a wall at one end \((A)\) and free at the other end \((C)\) as shown. A vertical load of 800 N (in the negative \( z \)-direction) and a horizontal load of 500 N (in the positive \( x \)-direction) is applied at the free end as shown. The rod has a constant diameter of 1.5 cm . The titanium alloy comprising the rod has a tensile yield strength of 1000 MPa . The point \( A \) is on the top of the outside surface of the rod and located as indicated in Fig. Q4.
(a) Determine the full 3D stress tensor representing the state of stress at point \( A \) with respect to the \( x, y, z \) axes shown in Fig. Q4.
[15]
(b) Determine the 3D principal stresses \(\left(\sigma_{1},\sigma_{2}\right.\) and \(\left.\sigma_{3}\right)\) and the maximum shear stress in the \( x \)-\( y \) plane at point \( A \).
(c) Holding the 800 N load constant, how much can the 500 N load be increased before yield occurs at point \( A \) according to the Von Mises yield criterion?
