We shall discuss bolh the above mentioned cases offrulure in more details one by one

~2915 Failure of the Rivets A rivet may fail due to either of the oUowin~ two reasollS

1 Shearing of the rivet 2 Crushing of the rivet Now we shall discuss both the cn~ one by one

~1 Sharin9 ofth~~ The plates which are connected by the rivets exert tensile stress on the rivets If the rivets are

unable to resist Ihe stresses they may be sheared off as shown in Fig 2910 It will be interesting to

know that

2 The rivets are in double shear in a doable coverbuUjoinL

2917 Crushing of the Rivets Sometimes the ri vets do not actually shear off under the tensile stress but are crushed alt shown

in Fig 2911 Such a failure of rivet is called crushin of the rivet

2918 Failure of the plates A plate may fail in many ways BuUhe following are impoItlUlt from the subject point of

1 Tearing off the plate across a row of rivets 2 Tearing off the plate at an edge

2919 Tearing off the Plate across a Row of Rivets Due to the tensile stresses in the main plates the main plate or cover plates may tear off

a row of rivets alt shown in Fig 29121n such cases we consider only one pitch length oflhe since every rivet is responsible for that much length of plate only

2920 Tearing off the Plate at an Edge A plate may also fail due to tearing at an edge as shown in Fig 2913 This can be avoidedmiddot

keeping the centre of the nearest rivet from theedge of the plale at least two times the diameter rivet

2921 Strength of a Rivet We have seen in arts 2916 and 2917 that a rivet may fail either due to its shearing off or due lI)

its crushing Thus while calculating tJyen strength of a rivet we see as to how much resistance it can offer The resistance offered by a rivet is known as its strength or the value of the rivet Following Ivu values of a rivet are imponant from the subject point of view

~22__~trength of a Plate We have seen in Art 2919 that the plate may fail due to its tearing off across the row of rivets

p = Pitch of the rivet and I = ThiCkness of the plate

2923 Strength of a Riveted Joint The strength of n joint may be definild as themaxinium force which it can 1ransmit without

causing it to faiL We have seen in Arts 2921 IUld 2922lhat p~ PIgt andP are die pulls required to shear of the rivet crushingofiberlvet and tearing of theplllte A little conIidera1ioo will show dult if we go on increasing the pun od a rivetedjoint itwill fail when the least oflhesethreepulls is reached because a higher value of the otherpuUs will never reach since tbe jOinthao already failed either by shearing of the rivet or by crusJiUng of the rivet or by tearing of the plate

fthc joint is continuous (as in the caseofboilers) the strength is calculated perpitch length But if the length of lhe joint u small the strength is calculaIed for the whole length of the plate

Allowable stret in bearing(ab) = 150 Nmm2 and allowable stress in tearing (at) 80 MPa 80 Nmm

First of all let us calculate the pulls required for shearing and crushing of the rivets a well teanng of the maIO plates

The design of riveted joints is an important job in one modern d~igJl offi~e these days A fauiry de~ign can Itad to lot many complication Whilc designing a riveted joint for structural use we usually tnilke die foU)wing assumptions

1 The load anjoint is equally shared by allthcrivets 2 Initial tensile or shearing stress in the rivets is neglected

3 Frictional forces berween the plates are neglected

t Piates are rigid

5 The shearing stress in aU the rivets is unifoml 6 The bearing stress is unifoml 7 Bending of rivels is neglected

2 The direction of the foree on a rivet to be resisted is perpendicular to the line joining theC$lttCoftbetivet and the centre Of all the rivets (iebullbull am~dof the rivet system)

Now consider an eccentric riveted connection a shown in Fig 2918

Let P = Eccentric load on the Fig 2918 joint

e = Ecccntricityofthe load ie thedisrance betwtentheJme of action of the load and the centroid of the rivetsystem iebull G

Per PR 2 (x- + y-)

The dirccion of this force will be at right angles to the line joining the centre of the rivet and (Cntroid of the rivet system Since this force is dire(~ly proportional to r (a is clear iTom the relation) therefore the rivet which is at the forrhtst dist1l1tc from the centroid of the rivet system will be subjected to the maximumfClrce It is mus obvious that while cakulating the resistance of a rivet or mfety of the connection a rivet which is at th~ farthest distance from G is studied because aU the other ri vets will be suhjected to a legter forte than the farthe one

1 Eccentric welded joint subjected to moment and

2 Eccentric welded joint subjected to torSion

Q14amp15 1---___-____fea~S of Composite Section (FIftChed Beams)

A composite section may be defined as a sediooinadc up of two or lllOIC diffcrentmaterials joined together in such a manner thaI they bebave like a single piece and each material bends to the iiame radius of curvature Such beams are used when Ii beam ofone material if used alone requires quite a large ltross-sectional area which does t10tstlit thespaee available A material is1heDreioforced with some other marerial of bigher ~ in crdjilrJo~the cross-sectional area of the beam and to suit Ihe space available (as is done iMOO c8Se ofteinforcedcement conctefebeams)

In such cases thetotal moment ofremtanlewnI~~to ilie sum Gfthemoments ofindividual sections

Consider a beam of a composite section made up of~Qifferent materials as shown in Fig 1512 Let EI = Modu1nsof~cityofpart I

i I = Moment ofiooctia of the part ] M I = Moment of resistance for pan I cr I Stress in part 1 Zj = Modnlusof section for part I

E~ 11 M1bull 0Z ~ = Correspanding values for part 2 and R = Radius of the bend up be-un

Fig 1512 We know that the moment ofresisnmce for beam J

M j = 01 xZ1 (M=crxZ)

Simliarly M) = Oz X Z2

Total moment of resistance of the composite section M Ml + Ml = (crj x Zj) + (02 x Zz) W

We also know that at any distance from the neutral axis the strain in both the materials will be the

where m= i ie Modulus ratio pound2

From the above two relations we can fmd out lhe total moment of rejStance of a composite beam or SIre5Ses in the two materials But if the sections of both the materials are not synunetrical then one area of the componenfs isc(tVerted into an equivalent area of the other

155 Beams of Composite sectiOn (FI1tched Beams) A composite section maybedefmedaS a seetioumade up of two or more differem materials

joined together in sucb a manner that tbcentybehave like a single piece ano each material bends to the same radius of curvature Such beams ate used when a beam ofone material if used alone requires quite a large cross--sectional area which doesnoistiitthe space available A material is then reinforced with some other mareriat of higher su-ength inorderlo reducemiddot the cross-sectional area of the beam and to suit the space available (as is done in the ca~ of reinfoned cement concrete beams)

]n such cases the total moment of te$istance will beequalto the sum of themoments of individual sections

Coasidef a beam ofa compositpoundsection made up of two differentmateriaJs as sbowoin Fig 1512shyLet E1 == Modulus of elasticity of part 1

11 = Moment of inertia of the part I M 1 = Moment of resistance for part 1

O == StresS in part 1 Z == Modwusof section for part 1

E] 12 M2bull al ~ = C6~nding values for part 2 arid R Radius of the bend up beam

We know rhal lhe moment of resiSllJnCe for beam J Fig 1512

Similarly M2 = 02 X Zz Total moment of reistance of the composite section

M = MI +M2 =(01 X ZI+ (tl1 x~) (i)

We also know that at any distance from the neutral axis the strain in both the materialgt will be the

same tll = 01 or El IEl

where m = EF ie Modulus ratio J2

From the above two relations we can find out the total moment of resistance of a composite beam or stres~s in the two materials But if the $eCrlQns of both the materials are not symmetrical then one area of the components is converted into an ~uiaIent area of fIle other

Carriagg Springs or Leaf Springs

The carriage springs are widely used inmilway wagons coaches and road vehicles these days These are used to absorb shocks which give an unpleasant feeling to me passengers The en gy absorbed by a laminated spring during a shock is released immediately without doing any useful ork

A laminated spring in iLgt simplest form consists of a number of parallel strips of a meta1 having different lengths but same width and placed one over the other in laminations as shown in Fig 281

15

All the plates are initially bent to the same radius and are free 10 slide one over the other When the spring i$ loaded to the designed load all tbeplates become flat and the central deflectiltm disappears The purpose of this type of arrartgementof plates is to make the spring ofuniform strength throughout This is achieved by tapering the ends of the laminations The semi-elliptical type spring rests on the axis of the vehicle and its top plate is pinned at lheends to the chassis ofthe vehicle

Now consider a carnage spring pinned al its both ends and carrying an upward load at its centre as shown in Fig 281

~2915 Failure of the Rivets A rivet may fail due to either of the oUowin~ two reasollS

1 Shearing of the rivet 2 Crushing of the rivet Now we shall discuss both the cn~ one by one

~1 Sharin9 ofth~~ The plates which are connected by the rivets exert tensile stress on the rivets If the rivets are

unable to resist Ihe stresses they may be sheared off as shown in Fig 2910 It will be interesting to

know that

2917 Crushing of the Rivets Sometimes the ri vets do not actually shear off under the tensile stress but are crushed alt shown

in Fig 2911 Such a failure of rivet is called crushin of the rivet

2918 Failure of the plates A plate may fail in many ways BuUhe following are impoItlUlt from the subject point of

1 Tearing off the plate across a row of rivets 2 Tearing off the plate at an edge

2919 Tearing off the Plate across a Row of Rivets Due to the tensile stresses in the main plates the main plate or cover plates may tear off

a row of rivets alt shown in Fig 29121n such cases we consider only one pitch length oflhe since every rivet is responsible for that much length of plate only

pp

Flg 2912 Tearing across a row of rivets

2920 Tearing off the Plate at an Edge A plate may also fail due to tearing at an edge as shown in Fig 2913 This can be avoidedmiddot

keeping the centre of the nearest rivet from theedge of the plale at least two times the diameter rivet

2921 Strength of a Rivet We have seen in arts 2916 and 2917 that a rivet may fail either due to its shearing off or due lI)

its crushing Thus while calculating tJyen strength of a rivet we see as to how much resistance it can offer The resistance offered by a rivet is known as its strength or the value of the rivet Following Ivu values of a rivet are imponant from the subject point of view

Q14amp15 1---___-____fea~S of Composite Section (FIftChed Beams)

A composite section may be defined as a sediooinadc up of two or lllOIC diffcrentmaterials joined together in such a manner thaI they bebave like a single piece and each material bends to the iiame radius of curvature Such beams are used when Ii beam ofone material if used alone requires quite a large ltross-sectional area which does t10tstlit thespaee available A material is1heDreioforced with some other marerial of bigher ~ in crdjilrJo~the cross-sectional area of the beam and to suit Ihe space available (as is done iMOO c8Se ofteinforcedcement conctefebeams)

In such cases thetotal moment ofremtanlewnI~~to ilie sum Gfthemoments ofindividual sections

Consider a beam of a composite section made up of~Qifferent materials as shown in Fig 1512 Let EI = Modu1nsof~cityofpart I

M j = 01 xZ1 (M=crxZ)

Simliarly M) = Oz X Z2

From the above two relations we can fmd out lhe total moment of rejStance of a composite beam or SIre5Ses in the two materials But if the sections of both the materials are not synunetrical then one area of the componenfs isc(tVerted into an equivalent area of the other

155 Beams of Composite sectiOn (FI1tched Beams) A composite section maybedefmedaS a seetioumade up of two or more differem materials

joined together in sucb a manner that tbcentybehave like a single piece ano each material bends to the same radius of curvature Such beams ate used when a beam ofone material if used alone requires quite a large cross--sectional area which doesnoistiitthe space available A material is then reinforced with some other mareriat of higher su-ength inorderlo reducemiddot the cross-sectional area of the beam and to suit the space available (as is done in the ca~ of reinfoned cement concrete beams)

]n such cases the total moment of te$istance will beequalto the sum of themoments of individual sections

Coasidef a beam ofa compositpoundsection made up of two differentmateriaJs as sbowoin Fig 1512shyLet E1 == Modulus of elasticity of part 1

11 = Moment of inertia of the part I M 1 = Moment of resistance for part 1

O == StresS in part 1 Z == Modwusof section for part 1

E] 12 M2bull al ~ = C6~nding values for part 2 arid R Radius of the bend up beam

We know rhal lhe moment of resiSllJnCe for beam J Fig 1512

Similarly M2 = 02 X Zz Total moment of reistance of the composite section

M = MI +M2 =(01 X ZI+ (tl1 x~) (i)

We also know that at any distance from the neutral axis the strain in both the materialgt will be the

same tll = 01 or El IEl

where m = EF ie Modulus ratio J2

From the above two relations we can find out the total moment of resistance of a composite beam or stres~s in the two materials But if the $eCrlQns of both the materials are not symmetrical then one area of the components is converted into an ~uiaIent area of fIle other

Carriagg Springs or Leaf Springs

The carriage springs are widely used inmilway wagons coaches and road vehicles these days These are used to absorb shocks which give an unpleasant feeling to me passengers The en gy absorbed by a laminated spring during a shock is released immediately without doing any useful ork

A laminated spring in iLgt simplest form consists of a number of parallel strips of a meta1 having different lengths but same width and placed one over the other in laminations as shown in Fig 281

15

All the plates are initially bent to the same radius and are free 10 slide one over the other When the spring i$ loaded to the designed load all tbeplates become flat and the central deflectiltm disappears The purpose of this type of arrartgementof plates is to make the spring ofuniform strength throughout This is achieved by tapering the ends of the laminations The semi-elliptical type spring rests on the axis of the vehicle and its top plate is pinned at lheends to the chassis ofthe vehicle

Now consider a carnage spring pinned al its both ends and carrying an upward load at its centre as shown in Fig 281

A composite section may be defined as a sediooinadc up of two or lllOIC diffcrentmaterials joined together in such a manner thaI they bebave like a single piece and each material bends to the iiame radius of curvature Such beams are used when Ii beam ofone material if used alone requires quite a large ltross-sectional area which does t10tstlit thespaee available A material is1heDreioforced with some other marerial of bigher ~ in crdjilrJo~the cross-sectional area of the beam and to suit Ihe space available (as is done iMOO c8Se ofteinforcedcement conctefebeams)

In such cases thetotal moment ofremtanlewnI~~to ilie sum Gfthemoments ofindividual sections

Consider a beam of a composite section made up of~Qifferent materials as shown in Fig 1512 Let EI = Modu1nsof~cityofpart I

joined together in sucb a manner that tbcentybehave like a single piece ano each material bends to the same radius of curvature Such beams ate used when a beam ofone material if used alone requires quite a large cross--sectional area which doesnoistiitthe space available A material is then reinforced with some other mareriat of higher su-ength inorderlo reducemiddot the cross-sectional area of the beam and to suit the space available (as is done in the ca~ of reinfoned cement concrete beams)

]n such cases the total moment of te$istance will beequalto the sum of themoments of individual sections

Coasidef a beam ofa compositpoundsection made up of two differentmateriaJs as sbowoin Fig 1512shyLet E1 == Modulus of elasticity of part 1

Similarly M2 = 02 X Zz Total moment of reistance of the composite section

M = MI +M2 =(01 X ZI+ (tl1 x~) (i)

We also know that at any distance from the neutral axis the strain in both the materialgt will be the

same tll = 01 or El IEl

where m = EF ie Modulus ratio J2

From the above two relations we can find out the total moment of resistance of a composite beam or stres~s in the two materials But if the $eCrlQns of both the materials are not symmetrical then one area of the components is converted into an ~uiaIent area of fIle other

Carriagg Springs or Leaf Springs

The carriage springs are widely used inmilway wagons coaches and road vehicles these days These are used to absorb shocks which give an unpleasant feeling to me passengers The en gy absorbed by a laminated spring during a shock is released immediately without doing any useful ork

A laminated spring in iLgt simplest form consists of a number of parallel strips of a meta1 having different lengths but same width and placed one over the other in laminations as shown in Fig 281

15

All the plates are initially bent to the same radius and are free 10 slide one over the other When the spring i$ loaded to the designed load all tbeplates become flat and the central deflectiltm disappears The purpose of this type of arrartgementof plates is to make the spring ofuniform strength throughout This is achieved by tapering the ends of the laminations The semi-elliptical type spring rests on the axis of the vehicle and its top plate is pinned at lheends to the chassis ofthe vehicle

Q14amp15 1---___-____fea~S of Composite Section (FIftChed Beams)

A composite section may be defined as a sediooinadc up of two or lllOIC diffcrentmaterials joined together in such a manner thaI they bebave like a single piece and each material bends to the iiame radius of curvature Such beams are used when Ii beam ofone material if used alone requires quite a large ltross-sectional area which does t10tstlit thespaee available A material is1heDreioforced with some other marerial of bigher ~ in crdjilrJo~the cross-sectional area of the beam and to suit Ihe space available (as is done iMOO c8Se ofteinforcedcement conctefebeams)

In such cases thetotal moment ofremtanlewnI~~to ilie sum Gfthemoments ofindividual sections

Consider a beam of a composite section made up of~Qifferent materials as shown in Fig 1512 Let EI = Modu1nsof~cityofpart I

E~ 11 M1bull 0Z ~ = Correspanding values for part 2 and R = Radius of the bend up be-un

M j = 01 xZ1 (M=crxZ)

Simliarly M) = Oz X Z2

Total moment of resistance of the composite section M Ml + Ml = (crj x Zj) + (02 x Zz) W

joined together in sucb a manner that tbcentybehave like a single piece ano each material bends to the same radius of curvature Such beams ate used when a beam ofone material if used alone requires quite a large cross--sectional area which doesnoistiitthe space available A material is then reinforced with some other mareriat of higher su-ength inorderlo reducemiddot the cross-sectional area of the beam and to suit the space available (as is done in the ca~ of reinfoned cement concrete beams)

]n such cases the total moment of te$istance will beequalto the sum of themoments of individual sections

Coasidef a beam ofa compositpoundsection made up of two differentmateriaJs as sbowoin Fig 1512shyLet E1 == Modulus of elasticity of part 1

11 = Moment of inertia of the part I M 1 = Moment of resistance for part 1

O == StresS in part 1 Z == Modwusof section for part 1

E] 12 M2bull al ~ = C6~nding values for part 2 arid R Radius of the bend up beam

We know rhal lhe moment of resiSllJnCe for beam J Fig 1512

Similarly M2 = 02 X Zz Total moment of reistance of the composite section

M = MI +M2 =(01 X ZI+ (tl1 x~) (i)

We also know that at any distance from the neutral axis the strain in both the materialgt will be the

same tll = 01 or El IEl

where m = EF ie Modulus ratio J2

From the above two relations we can find out the total moment of resistance of a composite beam or stres~s in the two materials But if the $eCrlQns of both the materials are not symmetrical then one area of the components is converted into an ~uiaIent area of fIle other

Carriagg Springs or Leaf Springs

The carriage springs are widely used inmilway wagons coaches and road vehicles these days These are used to absorb shocks which give an unpleasant feeling to me passengers The en gy absorbed by a laminated spring during a shock is released immediately without doing any useful ork

A laminated spring in iLgt simplest form consists of a number of parallel strips of a meta1 having different lengths but same width and placed one over the other in laminations as shown in Fig 281

15

All the plates are initially bent to the same radius and are free 10 slide one over the other When the spring i$ loaded to the designed load all tbeplates become flat and the central deflectiltm disappears The purpose of this type of arrartgementof plates is to make the spring ofuniform strength throughout This is achieved by tapering the ends of the laminations The semi-elliptical type spring rests on the axis of the vehicle and its top plate is pinned at lheends to the chassis ofthe vehicle

Now consider a carnage spring pinned al its both ends and carrying an upward load at its centre as shown in Fig 281

Q14amp15 1---___-____fea~S of Composite Section (FIftChed Beams)

A composite section may be defined as a sediooinadc up of two or lllOIC diffcrentmaterials joined together in such a manner thaI they bebave like a single piece and each material bends to the iiame radius of curvature Such beams are used when Ii beam ofone material if used alone requires quite a large ltross-sectional area which does t10tstlit thespaee available A material is1heDreioforced with some other marerial of bigher ~ in crdjilrJo~the cross-sectional area of the beam and to suit Ihe space available (as is done iMOO c8Se ofteinforcedcement conctefebeams)

In such cases thetotal moment ofremtanlewnI~~to ilie sum Gfthemoments ofindividual sections

Consider a beam of a composite section made up of~Qifferent materials as shown in Fig 1512 Let EI = Modu1nsof~cityofpart I

i I = Moment ofiooctia of the part ] M I = Moment of resistance for pan I cr I Stress in part 1 Zj = Modnlusof section for part I

E~ 11 M1bull 0Z ~ = Correspanding values for part 2 and R = Radius of the bend up be-un

Fig 1512 We know that the moment ofresisnmce for beam J

M j = 01 xZ1 (M=crxZ)

Simliarly M) = Oz X Z2

Total moment of resistance of the composite section M Ml + Ml = (crj x Zj) + (02 x Zz) W

We also know that at any distance from the neutral axis the strain in both the materials will be the

From the above two relations we can fmd out lhe total moment of rejStance of a composite beam or SIre5Ses in the two materials But if the sections of both the materials are not synunetrical then one area of the componenfs isc(tVerted into an equivalent area of the other

joined together in sucb a manner that tbcentybehave like a single piece ano each material bends to the same radius of curvature Such beams ate used when a beam ofone material if used alone requires quite a large cross--sectional area which doesnoistiitthe space available A material is then reinforced with some other mareriat of higher su-ength inorderlo reducemiddot the cross-sectional area of the beam and to suit the space available (as is done in the ca~ of reinfoned cement concrete beams)

]n such cases the total moment of te$istance will beequalto the sum of themoments of individual sections

Coasidef a beam ofa compositpoundsection made up of two differentmateriaJs as sbowoin Fig 1512shyLet E1 == Modulus of elasticity of part 1

11 = Moment of inertia of the part I M 1 = Moment of resistance for part 1

O == StresS in part 1 Z == Modwusof section for part 1

E] 12 M2bull al ~ = C6~nding values for part 2 arid R Radius of the bend up beam

We know rhal lhe moment of resiSllJnCe for beam J Fig 1512

Similarly M2 = 02 X Zz Total moment of reistance of the composite section

M = MI +M2 =(01 X ZI+ (tl1 x~) (i)

We also know that at any distance from the neutral axis the strain in both the materialgt will be the

same tll = 01 or El IEl

where m = EF ie Modulus ratio J2

From the above two relations we can find out the total moment of resistance of a composite beam or stres~s in the two materials But if the $eCrlQns of both the materials are not symmetrical then one area of the components is converted into an ~uiaIent area of fIle other

Carriagg Springs or Leaf Springs

The carriage springs are widely used inmilway wagons coaches and road vehicles these days These are used to absorb shocks which give an unpleasant feeling to me passengers The en gy absorbed by a laminated spring during a shock is released immediately without doing any useful ork

A laminated spring in iLgt simplest form consists of a number of parallel strips of a meta1 having different lengths but same width and placed one over the other in laminations as shown in Fig 281

15

All the plates are initially bent to the same radius and are free 10 slide one over the other When the spring i$ loaded to the designed load all tbeplates become flat and the central deflectiltm disappears The purpose of this type of arrartgementof plates is to make the spring ofuniform strength throughout This is achieved by tapering the ends of the laminations The semi-elliptical type spring rests on the axis of the vehicle and its top plate is pinned at lheends to the chassis ofthe vehicle

Now consider a carnage spring pinned al its both ends and carrying an upward load at its centre as shown in Fig 281

A composite section may be defined as a sediooinadc up of two or lllOIC diffcrentmaterials joined together in such a manner thaI they bebave like a single piece and each material bends to the iiame radius of curvature Such beams are used when Ii beam ofone material if used alone requires quite a large ltross-sectional area which does t10tstlit thespaee available A material is1heDreioforced with some other marerial of bigher ~ in crdjilrJo~the cross-sectional area of the beam and to suit Ihe space available (as is done iMOO c8Se ofteinforcedcement conctefebeams)

The carriage springs are widely used inmilway wagons coaches and road vehicles these days These are used to absorb shocks which give an unpleasant feeling to me passengers The en gy absorbed by a laminated spring during a shock is released immediately without doing any useful ork

A laminated spring in iLgt simplest form consists of a number of parallel strips of a meta1 having different lengths but same width and placed one over the other in laminations as shown in Fig 281

Carriagg Springs or Leaf Springs

The carriage springs are widely used inmilway wagons coaches and road vehicles these days These are used to absorb shocks which give an unpleasant feeling to me passengers The en gy absorbed by a laminated spring during a shock is released immediately without doing any useful ork

A laminated spring in iLgt simplest form consists of a number of parallel strips of a meta1 having different lengths but same width and placed one over the other in laminations as shown in Fig 281

15

All the plates are initially bent to the same radius and are free 10 slide one over the other When the spring i$ loaded to the designed load all tbeplates become flat and the central deflectiltm disappears The purpose of this type of arrartgementof plates is to make the spring ofuniform strength throughout This is achieved by tapering the ends of the laminations The semi-elliptical type spring rests on the axis of the vehicle and its top plate is pinned at lheends to the chassis ofthe vehicle

Now consider a carnage spring pinned al its both ends and carrying an upward load at its centre as shown in Fig 281

Carriagg Springs or Leaf Springs

The carriage springs are widely used inmilway wagons coaches and road vehicles these days These are used to absorb shocks which give an unpleasant feeling to me passengers The en gy absorbed by a laminated spring during a shock is released immediately without doing any useful ork

A laminated spring in iLgt simplest form consists of a number of parallel strips of a meta1 having different lengths but same width and placed one over the other in laminations as shown in Fig 281

15

All the plates are initially bent to the same radius and are free 10 slide one over the other When the spring i$ loaded to the designed load all tbeplates become flat and the central deflectiltm disappears The purpose of this type of arrartgementof plates is to make the spring ofuniform strength throughout This is achieved by tapering the ends of the laminations The semi-elliptical type spring rests on the axis of the vehicle and its top plate is pinned at lheends to the chassis ofthe vehicle

A laminated spring in iLgt simplest form consists of a number of parallel strips of a meta1 having different lengths but same width and placed one over the other in laminations as shown in Fig 281

All the plates are initially bent to the same radius and are free 10 slide one over the other When the spring i$ loaded to the designed load all tbeplates become flat and the central deflectiltm disappears The purpose of this type of arrartgementof plates is to make the spring ofuniform strength throughout This is achieved by tapering the ends of the laminations The semi-elliptical type spring rests on the axis of the vehicle and its top plate is pinned at lheends to the chassis ofthe vehicle

displacement of the plate or metJ]ber ~ BUt simletimes a weld may have to offer resistance to bending or torsion inaddUion to the uneardispIaeementQt the plate Sucll welded connections are called eccentric welded connectiOns Though there are many types of welded connections yet the following two are important from the subject point of view

1 Eccentric welded joint subjected to moment and

2 Eccentric welded joint subjected to torSion

Q14amp15 1---___-____fea~S of Composite Section (FIftChed Beams)

A composite section may be defined as a sediooinadc up of two or lllOIC diffcrentmaterials joined together in such a manner thaI they bebave like a single piece and each material bends to the iiame radius of curvature Such beams are used when Ii beam ofone material if used alone requires quite a large ltross-sectional area which does t10tstlit thespaee available A material is1heDreioforced with some other marerial of bigher ~ in crdjilrJo~the cross-sectional area of the beam and to suit Ihe space available (as is done iMOO c8Se ofteinforcedcement conctefebeams)

In such cases thetotal moment ofremtanlewnI~~to ilie sum Gfthemoments ofindividual sections

Consider a beam of a composite section made up of~Qifferent materials as shown in Fig 1512 Let EI = Modu1nsof~cityofpart I

i I = Moment ofiooctia of the part ] M I = Moment of resistance for pan I cr I Stress in part 1 Zj = Modnlusof section for part I

E~ 11 M1bull 0Z ~ = Correspanding values for part 2 and R = Radius of the bend up be-un

Fig 1512 We know that the moment ofresisnmce for beam J

M j = 01 xZ1 (M=crxZ)

Simliarly M) = Oz X Z2

Total moment of resistance of the composite section M Ml + Ml = (crj x Zj) + (02 x Zz) W

We also know that at any distance from the neutral axis the strain in both the materials will be the

arne OJ

pound 02

~ or ~ a 1 = shyE x 0 III X 0- bull

where m= i ie Modulus ratio pound2

From the above two relations we can fmd out lhe total moment of rejStance of a composite beam or SIre5Ses in the two materials But if the sections of both the materials are not synunetrical then one area of the componenfs isc(tVerted into an equivalent area of the other

We also know that at any distance from the neutral axis the strain in both the materialgt will be the

Carriagg Springs or Leaf Springs

The carriage springs are widely used inmilway wagons coaches and road vehicles these days These are used to absorb shocks which give an unpleasant feeling to me passengers The en gy absorbed by a laminated spring during a shock is released immediately without doing any useful ork

A laminated spring in iLgt simplest form consists of a number of parallel strips of a meta1 having different lengths but same width and placed one over the other in laminations as shown in Fig 281

15

All the plates are initially bent to the same radius and are free 10 slide one over the other When the spring i$ loaded to the designed load all tbeplates become flat and the central deflectiltm disappears The purpose of this type of arrartgementof plates is to make the spring ofuniform strength throughout This is achieved by tapering the ends of the laminations The semi-elliptical type spring rests on the axis of the vehicle and its top plate is pinned at lheends to the chassis ofthe vehicle
