Question 1(10 points)
You get the job at Company XYZ, and your boss asks you to mount a strain rosette on a structure you can model as a cantilevered beam with a rectangular cross-section.
a)(2 pt.) Draw diagrams for the shear force and bending moment along the beam.
b)(2 pt.) Calculate the maximum normal stress due to bending with the following parameters: width b=2cm, height/thickness h=1.5cm, length L=0.3m, and concentrated force P=50N.
c)(3 pt.) Assuming the material of the beam is brittle and all other stresses are zero at the location and orientation used to determine the maximum normal, draw an envelope on a 1-2 plot using the maximum normal stress failure criterion with |Sultc?c|=Sultt=400MPa. Is the state of stress within the envelope? If so, what is the safety factor?
d)(3 pt.) We use a rectangular rosette with three axial strain gauges oriented at 0,45, and 90 in a plane. If we mount the strain gauge on top of the beam with the 0-gauge aligned with the x-direction, what are the strains measured by all three axial strain gauges? Please indicate the corresponding orientations of the strain gauges. Note: the material's elastic modulus is 200 GPa , and the Poisson's ratio is 0.3.
