You should make it very clear what sources of information have been used; where material/information from these sources is quoted it must be clearly referenced using the Harvard Referencing System. (Details can be obtained from Learning Centres). | |||||||
The assignment must be digitally produced (scanned versions are unacceptable) and submitted as an electronic copy on to the designated location in wolf. You will receive an email confirmation on uploading the coursework. You are advised to keep your own electronic & ‘hard’ copy of any work submitted. | |||||||
Note: For the following questions, letter groups ABC, AB or BC represent numbers derived from your student number. For example: If your student number is 0924514, this corresponds to OABCDEF.
Letters | O | A | B | C | D | E | F |
Student Number | 0 | 9 | 2 | 4 | 5 | 1 | 4 |
Then ABC = 924 AB = 92 BC = 24 DEF = 514
Question 1
A group of engineering students are venturing to build a human powered aircraft as shown in Fig .1. The aircraft is to be designed with a wing span of 30 meters to achieve sufficient lift. The main load bearing element on the wing is an aluminium spar that extends along the length of the wing. The cockpit and supporting structures (without the wing) is expected to weigh AB kg excluding a pilot of 70 kg, the propeller mass is BC kg. Accordingly, to aid with the design of the wing apply the principles of engineering mechanics to analyse the following cases.

Question 2
A 12 mm diameter steel rod is connected to a 30 mm wide by 8 mm thick aluminium rectangular bar as shown in Fig. 2a. Determine the force P required to stretch the assembly by 10 mm. Take the Young’s modulus of aluminium as ABC MPa and Steel as AB GPa.

Question 3
The joint shown in Fig. 3a is under tension along the major axis with a force of DEF kN. The safety factor (FS) of 4 will be applied to the rivets securing the joint. Assume the material has an ultimate shear stress of 190 MPa.

Question 4
A heavy-duty punch is used to make perforations on sheet of thickness 7 mm. The total pressure on the punch was measured to be ABC N/m2 on an area of 50 mm2 applied along the axial direction. If the diameter of the punch is 35 mm. Determine the shearing stress induced in the material. (Material data for steel: Young’s modulus = 210 GPA and Shear Modulus = 74 MPa).

Question 5
The steel machine part show in Fig. 5a is subjected to a compressive force of AB kN at an angle to the horizontal. Determine the average compressive stress along the areas of contact defined by XY and YZ. (Material data for steel: Young’s modulus = 210 GPA and Shear Modulus = 74 MPa).

Question 6
The rotating shaft of a human powered drive train is suddenly coupled to a freewheeling drum of a propeller shaft via a friction clutch. The moment of inertia of the drive train shaft is equivalent to a mass of 40 kg acting with a radius gyration of ABC mm. The freewheeling drum has a mass of BC kg and a radius of gyration of BCD mm. The initial velocity of the drivetrain shaft before coupling is AB rev/s and the freewheeling drum is initially at rest. Find the velocity of drivetrain shaft and freewheeling drum immediately after coupling.
