Question Paper

Draw the stress-strain curve for a mild steel bar and label the salient points on the curve.

A bar (shown in Fig. is subjected to a tensile force 50 kN. Determine the stresses in different sections of the bar and total longitudinal elongation. Take E =200 kN/mm^2

A hollow steel shaft of outside diameter 75 mm is transmitting a power of 150 kW at 1000 rpm. Find the thickness of the shaft, if the maximum shear stress in the shaft is limited to 40 MPa. Take 80 GPa.

Describe the "springs in series" and "springs in parallel".

Describe the assumptions used for the analysis of Thin shells.

A circular rod of diameter varying from 100 mm at one end to 200 mm at the other end, is fixed between two supports. Determine the stress induced, if the temperature of the rod is raised by 70°C.

Take E =200 kN/mm^2
a. =1.2 x

Length of rod =1000mm.

8. Prove the following:

Maximum shear stress in a rectangular section (subjected to shear force is 1.5 times the average shear stress.

The stresses induced in a hanging rod due to impact load will be two times of the stresses induced due to gradual load W.
