Question Paper
1. Consider the compound bar shown in Figure 1 consisting of a steel bolt of diameter 18 mm, surrounded by a copper tube of outer and inner diameter 30 mm, and 20 mm respectively. The assembly is just snug at 15°C. The material properties are given as
Young's modulus of steel, Es=200 kN/mm^2
Young's modulus of copper, Ec=120 kN/mm^2
Coefficient of linear thermal expansion of steel, as =12 x
Coefficient of linear thermal expansion of copper, ac=18 x
Calculate the thermal stresses in steel and copper when the temperature of the assembly is raised to 45°C.

2. A raised slab weighing 600 kN is placed upon two 2 bronze rods and one steel rod each of 60 cm cross-sectional area at a temperature of 15°C. The bronze rods are 25 cm while the steel rod is 30 cm long. Before the slab was placed, the top of all three rods are level. Find the temperature, at which the stress in the steel rod will be zero.

3. A cantilever beam carries a uniformly distributed load of 2 t/m over the entire length of 6 m and point loads of 5t, 3t, 7t and 2t at a distance of 2 4 5 and 6 respectively from the fixed end. Draw SFD and BMD for the beam.
4. A timber of rectangular section carries a load of 2 kN at mid-span. The beam is simply supported over a span of 3·6 m. If the depth of the section is to be twice the breadth and bending stress is not to exceed 9 determine the cross-sectional dimensions.
5. A bar of T-section as shown in Figure 2 is subjected to a longitudinal pull P applied at a point on the YY-axis but not at the centroid of the section. Determine the magnitude of P and the position of its line of section, if the stresses across the section vary from 10 N/mm^2 compression at the top to 120 N/mm^2 tension at the bottom.
