Solution:

Consider the following statements about why shafts are made of steel and their alloys:

  1. The shaft is subjected to normal stress.
  2. The shaft stress alternates with respect to time.
  3. The shaft is subjected to pure compressive stress.
  4. The shaft is subjected to stress of constant intensity.

Solution:

Two plates are connected with a riveted joint. A tensile force P acts on the plates such that the stress developed on the rivets is normal stress. Consider the rivet pitch to be 2 mm and the diameter of the rivet hole to be 19 mm. The allowable tensile strength of the plate material is 350 MPa, and the thickness of the plate is 5 mm. Find the maximum permissible value of P for the joint not to fail.
