You are in charge of designing a new fixture for a “universal testing machine” that will attach a tensile specimen to the machine using a clevis—a U-shaped piece with holes drilled through the two arms—and a cylindrical pin that passes through the clevis and the specimen. If the maximum load exerted by the machine is 30 kN and the pin is to be made of some sort of steel, what is the minimum pin diameter needed to ensure that the shear stress in the pin does not exceed 600 MPa? Assume that the steel has similar elastic properties to pure Fe.
A cylindrical pressure vessel is made by shrinking a brass shell over a mild steel shell. Both cylinders have a wall thickness of 6 mm. The nominal diameter of the vessel is 750 mm and is to be used in all calculations involving the diameter.

Solve the following problem of a steel tensile plate with a concentrated load applied at the top, as shown below. Determine at what depth the effect of the load dies out. Plot stress oy versus distance from the load. At distances of 1 in., 2 in., 4 in., 6 in., 10 in., 15 in., 20 in., and 30 in. from the load, list oy versus these distances. Let the width of the plate be b = 4 in., thickness of the plate be t = 0.25 in., and length be in.
