A round steel rod is subjected to axial tension of 50 MPa with a superimposed torsion of 100 MPa. What is your best prediction of the safety factor with respect to yielding if the material has a tensile yield strength of 500 MP

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]FS = 2.773[/tex]

Explanation:

A possible approach is using Von Mises Yield Criterion, which convert such stresses into an equivalent normal stress. The formula for any beam or rod is:

[tex]\sigma_{VM} =\sqrt{\sigma_{axial}^{2}+3\cdot \tau_{torsion}^{2}}[/tex]

The equivalent stress for the studied rod is:

[tex]\sigma_{VM} = \sqrt{(50\,MPa)^{2}+3\cdot (100\,MPa)^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma_{VM} \approx 180.278\,MPa[/tex]

Safety factor is:

[tex]FS=\frac{\sigma_{y}}{\sigma_{VM}}[/tex]

[tex]FS = 2.773[/tex]
