PLO-2: Problem Analysis: An ability to identify, formulate, research literature, and analyze broadly
defined engineering technology problems reaching substantiated conclusions using analytical tools
appropriate to the discipline or area of specialization.
CLO 2: Determine mechanical properties of materials under complex and multidimensional constraints, using
first principles of applied sciences.
Q. No. 1. (Marks 05)
CLO 2 PLO 2
Determine the stresses in the members and connections of the structure as shown in the
following figure. Take FAB = 40 kN (compression) and FBC = 50 kN (tension). You must
consider maximum normal stresses in AB and BC, and the shearing stress and bearing
stress at each pinned connection.

CLO 2 PLO 2
In the hanger shown, the upper portion of link ABC is 3/8 in. thick and the lower portions
are each 1/4 in. thick. Epoxy resin is used to bond the upper and lower portions together at
B. The pin at A has a 3/8 in. diameter, while a 1/4 in. diameter pin is used at C.
Determine (a) the shearing stress in pin A, (b) the shearing stress in pin C, (c) the largest
normal stress in link ABC, (d) the average shearing stress on the bonded surfaces at B,
and (e) the bearing stress in the link at C.
