Steel Bronze Area (mm) 600 300 3. Figure (a) shows a rigid bar that is supported by a pin at A and two rods, one made of steel and the other of bronze. Neglecting the weight of the bar, compute the stress in each rod caused by the 50- kN load, the following data : E (GPa) 200 83 Steel L0 m Bronze 2m lo6 m10m 08 m- 50 kN (a)

Machine elements are subjected to varieties of loads, some components are subjected to static loads, while some machine components are subjected to fluctuating loads, whose load magnitude tends to fluctuate. The components of a machine, when rotating at …

Stress is defined as force per unit area. When there is localization of huge stresses in mechanical components, due to irregularities present in components and sudden changes in cross-section is known as stress concentration. For example, groves, keyways…
