Using the Distortion-Energy failure theory: 8. (5 pts) Calculate the hydrostatic and distortional components of the stress 9. (10 pts) Calculate the von Mises stress and the factor of safety. 10. (10 pts) Of the two factors of safety computed, which one is more realistic? What failure theory should you use if you want to be conservative? 11. (10 pts) Suppose all the principal stresses are equal in magnitude and sign, and larger than Sy. What are the predicted safety factors by the maximum shear stress and distortion energy failure theories? Calculate your results and explain them. What do you think would happen in reality?

Tom is having a problem with his washing machine. he notices that the machine vibrates violently at a frequency of 1500 rpm due to an unknown rotating unbalance. the machine is mounted on 4 springs each having a stiffness of 10 kn/m. tom wishes to add an undamped vibration absorber attached by a spring under the machine the machine working frequency ranges between 800 rpm to 2000 rpm and its total mass while loaded is assumed to be 80 kg. a) what should be the mass of the absorber added to the machine so that the natural frequency falls outside the working range? b) after a first trial of an absorber using a mass of 35 kg, the amplitude of the oscillation was found to be 10 cm. what is the value of the rotating unbalance? c) using me-3.5 kg.m, find the optimal absorber (by minimizing its mass). what would be the amplitude of the oscillation of the absorber?
