Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A crankshaft in an engine is designed to operate under a maximum shear stress of 200 MPa. If the maximum torsional load applied is 400 Nm, determine whether the design is safe using Tresca's theory.
💡 Hint: Use the formula for shear stress tau = Torque/Area of the shaft.
Design a tapered beam for a biomedical implant that can endure 300 N of compressive load. Describe how to apply failure theories in your design choices.
💡 Hint: Consider both static and dynamic loading conditions during patient activities.
