A ½in diameter rod of 5in length is being considered as part of a mechanical linkagein which it can experience a tensile loadingand unloading during application. The material being considered is a standard aluminum bronze with a Young’s modulus of 15.5 Msi. What is the maximum load therod can take before itstarts to permanentlyelongate?Considering the rod is designed so thatit does not yield, what is the maximum energy that the rod would store? [Hint: You can look up someproperties of aluminum bronze in yourmachinedesign book].

a. Maximum Load = Force = 27085.09 N

b. Maximum Energy = 3.440 Joules

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Rod diameter = ½in = 0.5in

Length = 5in

Young's modulus = 15.5Msi

By applying the 0.2% offset rule,

The maximum load the rod can hold before it gets to breaking point is given as follows by taking the strain as 0.2%

Young Modulus = Stress/Strain Make Stress the Subject of Formula

Stress = Strain * Young Modulus

Stress = 0.2% * 15.5

Stress = 0.002 * 15.5

Stress = 0.031Msi

Calculating the area of the rod

Area = πr² or πd²/4

Area, A = 22/7 * 0.5^4 / 4

A = 22/7 * 0.25 / 4

A = 5.5/28

A = 0.1964in²

The maximum load that the rod would take before it starts to permanently elongate is given by

Force = Stress * Atea

Force = 0.031Msi * 0.1964in²

Force = 31Ksi * 0.1964in²

Force = 6.089Ksi in²

Force = 6.089 * 1000lbf

Force = 6089 lbf

1 lbf = 4.4482N

So, Force = 6089 * 4.4482N

Force = 27085.09 N

b.

Using Strain to Energy Formula

U = V×σ²/2·E

Where V = Volume

V = Length * Area

V = 5 in * 0.1964in²

V = 0.982in³

σ = Stress = 0.031Msi

= 0.031 * 1000Ksi

= 31Ksi

= 31 * 1000psi

= 31000psi

E = Young Modulus = 15.5Msi

= 15.5 * 1000Ksi

= 15.5 * 1000 * 1000psi

= 15500000psi

So,

Energy = 0.982 * 31000²/ ( 2 * 15500000)

Energy = 943,702,000/31000000

Energy = 30.442in³psi

Converted to ftlbf

Energy = 2.537 ftlbf

Converted to Joules

Energy = 3.440 Joules
