Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

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?

💡 Hint: Reflect on the consequences of exceeding yield strength in design.

Challenge 2 Hard

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

💡 Hint: Think about how dynamic loads differ from static loads.
