Question
Members AB and BC of the truss shown are made of the same alloy. It is known that a 20-mm-square bar of the same alloy was tested to failure and that an ultimate load of 120 kN was re-corded. If a factor of safety of 3.2 is to be achieved for both bars, determine the required cross-sectional area of (a) bar AB, (b) bar AC.
Solution
Step 1 of 14
We have to determine the cross sectional area of members AB and AC for given allowable tensile stresses. This is a determinate truss, so using the methods of moments and joints we will find the axial forces in these members and thus required stresses.

The following problems are designed to be solved with a computer. A 4-kip force P forming an angle \(\alpha\) with the vertical is applied as shown to member ABC, which is supported by a pin and bracket at C and by a cable BD forming an angle \(\beta\) with the horizontal. (a) Knowing that the ultimate load of the cable is 25 kips, write a computer program to construct a table of the values of the factor of safety of the cable for values of \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) from 0 to \(45^{\circ}\), using increments in \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) corresponding to 0.1 increments in tan \(\alpha\) and tan \(\beta\). (b) Check that for any given value of \(\alpha\), the maximum value of the factor of safety is obtained for \(\beta=38.66^{\circ}\) and explain why. (c) Determine the smallest possible value of the factor of safety for \(\beta=38.66^{\circ}\), as well as the corresponding value of \(\apha\), and explain the result obtained.

The following problems are designed to be solved with a computer. A load P is supported as shown by two wooden members of uniform rectangular cross section that are joined by a simple glued scarf splice. (a) Denoting by \(\sigma_{U}\) and \(\tau_{U}\), respectively, the ultimate strength of the joint in tension and in shear, write a computer program which, for given values of a, b, P, \(\sigma_{U}\) and \(\tau_{U}\), expressed in either SI or U.S. customary units, and for values of \(\alpha\) from 5 to \(85^{\circ}\) at \(5^{\circ}\) intervals, can calculate (i) the normal stress in the joint, (ii) the shearing stress in the joint, (iii) the factor of safety relative to failure in tension, (iv) the factor of safety relative to failure in shear, and (v) the overall factor of safety for the glued joint. (b) Apply this program, using the dimensions and loading of the members of Probs. 1.29 and 1.31, knowing that \(\sigma_{U}=150 \mathrm{psi} \text { and } \tau_{U}=214 \mathrm{psi}\) for the glue used in Prob. 1.29 and that \(\sigma_{U}=1.26 \mathrm{MPa} \text { and } \tau_{U}=1.50 \mathrm{MPa}\) for the glue used in Prob. 1.31. (c) Verify in each of these two cases that the shearing stress is maximum for \(\alpha=45^{\circ}\).

The following problems are designed to be solved with a computer. Member ABC is supported by a pin and bracket at A, and by two links that are pin-connected to the member at B and to a fixed support at D. (a) Write a computer program to calculate the allowable load \(P_{\text {all }}\) for any given values of (i) the diameter \(d_{1}\) of the pin at A, (ii) the common diameter \(d_{2}\) of the pins at B and D, (iii) the ultimate normal stress \(\sigma_{U}\) in each of the two links, (iv) the ultimate shearing stress \(\tau_{U}\) in each of the three pins, and (v) the desired overall factor of safety F.S. (b) Your program should also indicate which of the following three stresses is critical: the normal stress in the links, the shearing stress in the pin at A, or the shearing stress in the pins at B and D. (c) Check your program by using the data of Probs. 1.55 and 1.56, respectively, and comparing the answers obtained for \(P_{\text {all }}\) with those given in the text. (d ) Use your program to determine the allowable load \(P_{\text {all }}\), as well as which of the stresses is critical, when \(d_{1}=d_{2}=15 \mathrm{~mm}, \sigma_{U}=110 \mathrm{MPa}\) for aluminum links, \(\tau_{U}=100 \mathrm{MPa}\) for steel pins, and \(F S .=3.2\).
