A concentrated vertical load of 3000 KN is applied on a horizontal ground surface. Points P and Q are at depths 1 m and 2 m below the ground, respectively, along the line of application of the load. Considering the ground to be a linearly elastic, isotropic, semi-infinite medium, the ratio of the increase in vertical stress at P to the increase in vertical stress at Q is (in integer)

Using the maximum distortional energy theory and the stress concentration figures given in section 4.12, find the maximum diameter of the radial hole (d) for a safety factor of n = 1.8. The torsion applied to the shaft is T = 400 Nm, the diameter of the shaft is D = 30 mm and the yield strength of the material is Sy = 460 MPa. Based on the stress concentration figure, assume an initial K₁ value and then revise your solution once you have determined an initial d. T T CS ESC

2. Show the type of stress distribution over the radius of the disk
Create a 2D contour plot to allow the performance of the structure to be assessed against the maximum distortion energy (von Mises) criteria. Comment on the results. You can do this by plotting a contour of the von-mises stress and then normalising the result against the yield stress. This will produce a contour plot of the failure index. This index represents the ratio of the von-mises stress to the yield stress of the material.
