Problem I: (75 points)
The circular steel tube shown in Figure I has the following properties and dimensions:
• E = 200 x 106 kPa (kN/m2)
: Modulus of elasticity
• γ = 80 kN/m3
: Weight density (about 8 times water)
• σy = 255,000 kPa
: Yield strength in tension and compression
• FS = 1.5
: Factor of safety
• L1 = 1.2 m
L2 = 0.8 m
• D1 = 0.05 m
D2 = 0.03 m

2. AGAIN IGNORING THE OWN WEIGHT with P = 120 kN and referring to question 1.
In order to achieve the most economical and safe solution for optimum design, determine the
minimum thickness “t” required for segment AB by varying the outer diameter D1 while
keeping the inner diameter D2 = 0.03 m. (15 points)

and dimensions as in question 1.
• Compute the maximum stress and its location, and comment on safety. (15 points)
• Compute the top displacement at C and the stiffness of the system. (15 points)

Problem II: (25 points)
Referring to the beam-bar system shown in Figure II, the concentrated downward vertical force P
is a moving load, and can assume any position on the beam between A and D. Ignore the own
weights of the beam and bar.
Determine the positions of the load P and compute the corresponding force in Bar CE, for the
following cases:
• Maximum Tension in Bar CE.
• Maximum Compression in Bar CE.
• Force in Bar CE is equal to P in tension.
Note: You should compute one position and corresponding force for each of the cases above.
