Chapter 8, Problem 8.5.33P

A plumber's valve wrench is used to replace valves in plumbing fixtures. A simplified model of the wrench (see figure part a) consists of pipe AB (length L. outer diameter D inner diameter dy), which is fixed at A and has holes of a diameter d_hon either side of the pipe at B. A solid, cylindrical bar CBD (lengths, diameter^) is inserted into the holes at B and only one force F = 55 lb is applied in the -Z direction at C to loosen the fixture valve at A (see figure part c). Let G = 11,800 ksi, v = 0.30, L = 4 in., a = 4.5 in., d₂= 1.25 in., d_x= 1 in., and d_h= 0.25 in. Find the state of plane stress on the top of the pipe near A (at coordinates A" = 0,Y = Q,Z = d->12), and show all stresses on a plane stress element (see figure part b). Compute the principal stresses and maximum shear stress, and show them on properly rotated stress elements
