Detailed Answers Already Graded A+




combined loading - CORRECT ANSWER-want to find the sum of all stresses

Axial/Normal Stress: σ = P/A

Pressure Vessel: σ = Pr/t, σ = Pr/2t

Bending Stress: σ = -My/I

Shear Stress: 𝜏 = VQ/It

Torsion Shear Stress: 𝜏 = Tp/Ip



Beam Deflection - CORRECT ANSWER-deflection equation EIv

slope equation EIv'

moment curvature equation EIv''



1) Draw FBD and make appropriate cuts

2) Use the summation of moments to find the M

3) Use the moment curve equation and integrate to find constants

, 4) Find boundary conditions and continuity

5) Plug in boundary for x,v,v' to get the constants



Full Set of Plane Stress Transformation Equations - CORRECT ANSWER-𝜎𝑥′ =
𝜎𝑛 = ((𝜎𝑥 + 𝜎𝑦) / 2) + ((𝜎𝑥 − 𝜎𝑦) / 2) cos 2𝜃 + 𝜏𝑥𝑦 sin 2𝜃

𝜎𝑦′ = ((𝜎𝑥 + 𝜎𝑦) / 2) - ((𝜎𝑥 − 𝜎𝑦) / 2) cos 2𝜃 - 𝜏𝑥𝑦 sin 2𝜃

𝜏𝑥′𝑦′ = 𝜏𝑛𝑡 = − ((𝜎𝑥 − 𝜎𝑦) / 2) sin 2𝜃 + 𝜏𝑥𝑦 cos 2𝜃



MOHR Circle formulas - CORRECT ANSWER-𝜎avg = (𝜎𝑥 + 𝜎𝑦) / 2

center = (𝜎avg,0)

X = (𝜎𝑥, 𝜏𝑥𝑦)

Y = (𝜎𝑦, -𝜏𝑥𝑦)

𝜎p₁ = 𝜎avg + R

𝜎p₂ = 𝜎avg - R

R = Radius = √((𝜎𝑥 - 𝜎𝑦) / 2)² + (𝜏𝑥𝑦)²

tan(2θp) = y/x

𝜏max in plane = Radius 2D

𝜏absolute max = Max Radius = 𝜎max-𝜎min / 2
