QUESTION 1 A solid shaft which has a radius of 30 mm and length 2m is made of an elastic perfectly plastic material. It is loaded by a slowly increasing torque Tp until a plastic zone has occurred partially in the shaft. Derive an expression for the torque Tp. Assuming the yield stress in shear Ty =150 MPa, G = 80 GPa, determine: (a)
the torque Ty at the on set of first yield,
(b)
the angle of twist if the torque is increased to 1.2 Ty,
(c)
the residual shearing stress at the outer surface after the torque of 1.2 Ty is removed. (25 marks)

QUESTION 2 A rigid horizontal bar pivoted at the left-hand end is loaded by a point load Pat the right-hand end as shown in Figure 2a. It is supported by a column, which is pinned at both ends and is restrained at mid-height from in-plane (x-y plane) displacement, but free to deflect out-of-plane (y-z plane). The column has a height of 300 mm and a rectangular cross-section of 5 x 15 mm as shown in Figure 2b. Assuming a factor of safety of 1.5, determine the maximum allowable load P that the column can support. Assume a Young' s modulus of200 GPa and a compressive yield stress of 300 MPa. State if buckling will occur in the x-y plane (in-plane) or y-z plane (out-of-plane). The Euler formula used must be derived from first principles. The solution to the differential equation:
