Problem One The circular rod shown is made of the steel alloy AISI 4140 OQT 700. It has a diameter of 2.00 in and an initial length of 72 in. An axial tensile load of 35 000 lb is applied during a certain operation. Compute: 1. the equivalent spring constant K, 2. the deformation X of the rod. The Young’s modulus of the steel is known to be 30,000,000 psi.
Problem Two Write the global stiffness matrix of the spring assemblage shown. Assume that all springs remain horizontal, the vertical bars at nodes 2 and 3 are rigid and allowed to slide horizontally to the left or right.

Problem Three In this problem, you are asked to perform a linear static stress analysis of the fitting shown. The procedure is the same as that of the “Linear Static Analysis of a fitting” tutorial except for the size of the part and thus, the location of the applied load. Make sure that diagrams of displacement and Von Mises stress are included in your analysis report. Download and save the part file fitting altered.ipt Start Autodesk Inventor Open the file fitting altered.ipt you downloaded previously Click File , Save As and save the part as fitting altered Midterm.ipt . This allows you to reuse the original part. Enter the Nastran through “Environments” tab Walk through the entire Linear Static Analysis of a Fitting tutorial and complete all the tasks. (Skip any slide that asks you to download or open the original fitting file). Make sure that you have saved the report and the Inventor file as instructed at the end of the tutorial
Problem Four In this problem, you are asked to perform a linear static stress analysis of simple lever arm shown. The procedure is the same as that of Sec 05 “Cast Lever Exercise” except for the loading . Make sure that diagrams of displacement and Von Mises stress are included in your analysis report. Analytically re-calculate the force R acting on point C. It will no longer be 687.5 N as previously found and listed in the slides Download and save the part file Cast Lever.ipt Start Autodesk Inventor Open the file Cast Lever.ipt you downloaded previously Click File , Save As and save the part as Cast Lever Midterm.ipt . This allows you to reuse the original part. Enter the Nastran through “Environments” tab Walk through Sec 05 Cast Lever Exercise Links to an external site. and complete all the tasks. Remember that while the boundary conditions are the same, the loading will be different . (Skip any slide that asks you to download or open the Cast Lever file). Generate and save the report HTML file as “Cast Lever New Load”. Make sure the displacement and Von Mises stress diagram are included. Save the Inventor file
