and pitch are 25 mm and 75 mm respectively. If the ultimate stresses are 400 MPa in
tension,320 MPa in shear and 640 MPa in crushing, find the minimum force per pitch
which will rupture the joint.

actual stresses developed in the plates and the rivets.
What types of stresses are induced in shafts?

double parallel fillets. The plates are subjected to a static load of 80 kN. Find the length
of weld if the permissible shear stress in the weld does not exceed 55 MPa.

12.
