A composite axial structure consists of two rods joined at flange B. Rods (1) and (2) are attached to rigid supports at A and C, respectively. A concentrated load P is applied to flange B in the direction shown. Determine the internal forces and stresses in each rod. Indicate T or C. Also, determine the deflection of flange B in the x-direction Rod Properties A1 = 680 mm? %3D E1 = 120 GPa 175 kN A2 = 1260 mm? (1) (2) E2 = %3D 200 GPa A B C 2400 mm 2900 mm II
Design Against Fluctuating Loads
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 a high speed, are subjected to a high degree of load, which fluctuates from a high value to a low value. For the machine elements under the action of static loads, static failure theories are applied to know the safe and hazardous working conditions and regions. However, most of the machine elements are subjected to variable or fluctuating stresses, due to the nature of load that fluctuates from high magnitude to low magnitude. Also, the nature of the loads is repetitive. For instance, shafts, bearings, cams and followers, and so on.
Design Against Fluctuating Load
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, screw threads, oil holes, splines etc. are irregularities.
