will be considered. Total Points = 100. Time Allowed: 120 minutes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1. (70 points) The component below has been made of a steel pipe with an outside diameter
(OD) of 170mm and a thickness (t) of 6mm. A design safety factor of 3 was used in this
component. The internal pressure in the pipe is 5000kPa and there are two concentrated loads
acting at the end B, one in the positive x-direction (F=6000N) and the other in the negative
y-direction (P=7000N). Determine if the component has been properly designed if the material
has a yield stress of 520MPa.
Data: a=600mm , b=900mm , c=600mm , Elastic Modulus = 200GPa ; Poissons ratio = 0.3.
Stress Concentration factors at the wall : Kbending=1.7 , Ktorsion=1.6 , Kshear=1.4 , Kaxial-pressure=1.8.
If a delta strain rosette is placed in the point H (K), with one of the strain gauges (a) parallel to
the x-direction and the triangle pointing towards the positive z-direction (y-direction), what will
be the readings in the strain gauges a, b and c (see figure below).

of the fibers) graphite/epoxy lamina which is subjected to the following stresses: x = 2MPa ,
y = -3MPa and xy = 4MPa. What will be the strains associated with a delta rosette strain gauge
attached to the surface of the lamina? Data: E1=181GPa , E2=10.3GPa , 12=0.28 , 23=0.6 ,
13=0.27 , G12=7.17GPa , G23=3.0GPa , G31=7.00GPa
