SECTION A

Q.2 (a) Two cylindrical containers having a diameter of 680mm

are joined by bolting their flanges together. How many 15mm
diameter structural steel bolts are required to hold the cylinders
together when the assembly is subjected to an internal
pressure of 1.4MN/m2 and the tensile stress in the bolts is not
to exceed 55.2MN/m2 and the joint is to have a factor of safety
of 1.6. [10]

(b) A water tap key shown in Figure Q.2(b) supports the loading as
shown. Determine:

(i) the bending stresses and shear stress at A on the

15mm diameter bar; [8]

(ii) the principal stresses at A on the 15mm diameter bar

due to the combined loading; [4]

(iii) the angle of the principal stress relative to the axis of

the bar. [3]

Q5. (a) Define the following terms with respect to vibrating systems: Degrees of
Freedom ; Conservative System ; Viscous Damping. Use diagrams in
your answer where appropriate.
[6]

(b) Determine the effective stiffness and expected natural frequency of the
system shown in Figure Q5(b). Clearly show all of your working and
state any assumptions that you make in your solution. Take the influence
Coefficient of a cantilever beam to be . ( Treat the system as
being Single Degree of Freedom).

(c) The cylindrical Buoy of Figure Q5(c) floats in salt water of Density
1030kg/m3 and has a mass of 800kg with a low center of gravity
to keep it floating in a stable upright position. Table Q5(c) shows a
sample of time data for the vertical oscillation of the buoy.

(i) Using this data, determine the effective viscous damping

coefficient for the sea water on this system.
[8]

(ii) Comment on the likely change in behavior of the buoy if the sea
water temperature were to increase significantly (say by 5o).
