An elevated jogging track is supported at intervals by a wood beam AB (L = 7.5 ft) that is pinned at A and supported by steel rod BC and a steel washer at B. Both the rod (dBC= 3/16 in.) and the washer (dB= 1.0 in.) were designed using a rod tension force of TBC=415 lb. The rod was sized using a factor of safely of 3 against reaching the ultimate stress tru— 60 ksi. An allowable bearing stress sba= 565 psi was used to size the washer at B.

A high-strength steel bar used in a large crane has a diameter d = 2.00 in. (sec figure). The steel has a modulus of elasticity E = 29 × 10 psi and Poisson’s ratio is v = 0.29. Because of clearance requirements, the diameter of the bar is limited to 2.001 in. when it is compressed by axial forces. What is the largest compressive load Pmaxthat is permitted?
The strength-to-weight ratio of a structural material is defined as its load-carrying capacity divided by its weight. For materials in tension, use a characteristic tensile stress obtained from a stress-strain curve as a measure of strength. For instance, either the yield stress or the ultimate stress could be used, depending upon the particular application. Thus, the strength-to-weight ratio RS/Wfor a material in tension is defined as Rs/w= in which a is the characteristic stress and 7 is the weight density. Note that the ratio has units of length. Using the ultimate stress Uas the strength parameter, calculate the strength-to-weight ratio (in units of meters) for each of the following materials: aluminum alloy 606I-T6, Douglas fir (in bending}, nylon. structural steel ASTM-A57.2, and a titanium alloy. Obtain the material properties from Tables [-1 and 1-3 of Appendix I. When a range of values is given in a table, use the average value.
