Chapter 10 Problem Solving
SUBMIT IN CANVAS
The 1.4-kip load P is supported by two wooden members of uniform
cross section that are joined by the simple glued scarf splice shown.
Determine the shearing stresses in the glued splice.
τ = 𝑃
𝐴0 sin 𝜃 cos 𝜃 𝜃 =30
Where A0 is the cross sectional area perpendicular to the long axis of
the block and θ is the angle formed by the normal (perpendicular) plane
and the oblique plane.
sin 𝜃 KIP= 1000 lb
Problem (Use Octave)
• Prompt the user for cross-sectional dimensions, applied load (P), and material type (steel or
aluminum), and splice angle.
• Report back to the user whether or not the object will fail in shear.
Note: max for steel is 30000 psi and max for aluminum is 20000 psi ----------------- Aluminum is going
to fail and Steel is going to pass.
Screenshot your octave window with the program and output for P = 100kip, L=1.5in, W=1.5in and theta
= 45 degrees, and submit it in Canvas. P= 100 x 10^3 lb
