Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the formula for shear stress tau = Torque/Area of the shaft.

Question 2

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.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider both static and dynamic loading conditions during patient activities.
