1. (2 points/10) Fixed-free bar ABCD is subjected to two torques at C (3T) and D (2T). Part AB is made of a material with
allow=50MPa, its cross-section has a polar moment of
4
inerta JAB=4E6mm and the maximum radius is 20mm.
Part BD is made of a material with allow =25MPa, its cross-
section has a polar moment of inerta JBC=2E6mm4 and
the maximum radius is 5mm. Determine: 1.a.) Internal
torque diagram (1p) 1.b). Maximum value of T that can be
applied (1p).

|max(AB)|=(-T/4E6)*2050MPa T10E6Nmm=10kNm

|max(BD)|=(2T/2E6)*525MPa T5E6Nmm=5kNm
The solution is T5E6Nmm=5kNm

2. (2 points/10)The cross- section shown (distances in mm) corresponds to a

beam where the maximum moment applied is M=-1kNm (negative). If

2.a) Maximum positive normal stress in MPa. (1p)
2.b) First moment of inertia (Q) at point H. (1p)

3. (4 points/10)For the beam of the figure, where the

reactions are given, determine:
For P0=0: 3.1) Shear and moment diagrams (2.5p). 3.2) Unit
system and M1 to calculate the rotation (slope) at B (without
multiply diagrams). (0.5p)

Pcri= *200E3*2E5/(2*4E3)=6168.5N>5000N The beam doesn’t buckle.

4. (2points/10) For the beam of the figure, calculate 4.a)

The reaction at A (0.75p) 4.b) If the pin support at E
becomes a fixed support, draw 2 basic systems adequate
to solve the indeterminacy. (1.25p)
Data: q=3kN/M, LAB=1m, M=2kNm.

4.a) At the left of the hinge, moments are zero Ay*1m=q*1m*0.5m Ay=1.5kN
4.b) These are the three adequate basic systems for this
beam (only two were required in the exam).
