Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A metal rod has a yield strength of 350 MPa and experiences a von Mises stress of 370 MPa under load. What steps would you take to address this in a real-world application?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on the consequences of exceeding yield strength in design.

Question 2

Explain how changes in loading conditions affect the von Mises stress in a structural joint.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how dynamic loads differ from static loads.
