Answer ONE Question from each Unit
All Questions Carry Equal Marks
All parts of the question must be answered in one place only
UNIT I
1. Explain with illustrations and stress-strain diagram for mild steel, the phenomenon of strainhardening
and necking.
A tensile load of 60kN is gradually applied to a circular bar of 4cm diameter and 5m long. If the
value of E 2x105N/mm2, determine
Stretch in the rod
Stress in the rod
Strain energy absorbed by the rod.
2. Write and demonstrate the strain energy expressions for the following cases:
i. Bending
ii. Shear
iii. Torsion
Determine the Poisson's ratio and bulk modulus of a material, for which Young's modulus is
1.2x105 N/mm2 and modulus of rigidity is 4.5x104 N/mm2.

3. Enumerate the relation between rate of loading, shear force and bending moment for a beam
carrying a uniformly distributed load of w per unit length over whole span.

4. Compare
i. A simply supported beam and a cantilever beam
ii. A fixed beam and a cantilever beam
A simply supported beam is loaded as shown in the below Figure 2. What is the maximum shear
force in the beam?

UNIT III
5. Explain the concept of complimentary shear in longitudinal section of a beam which is transversely
loaded. From the rectangular, circular, triangular, I and T sections, which is most efficient for
section withstanding shear stress in beams? Why?
A rectangular section made of timber is simply supported at the ends and carries a point load at
the centre of the beam. The maximum bending stress is 12N/mm2 and the maximum shearing
stress is 1N/mm2. Find the span to depth ratio.
6. A horizontal beam with square cross-section is simply supported with sides of the square horizontal
and vertical and carries a uniformly distributed load that produces maximum bending
stress in the beam. When the beam is placed with one of the diagonals horizontal the what
is the maximum bending stress?
The cross-section of an I-beam is shown in Figure 3. The bending moment at the section is
20 kN-m. Plot the distribution of bending stress in the beam.

7. Distinguish between close and open helical coil springs. What is the value maximum shear
stress deflection in a closely coiled helical spring subjected to an axial force?
A hollow shaft of external diameter 120mm transmits 300kW power at 200 rpm. Determine the
maximum internal diameter if the maximum stress in the shaft is not to exceed 60N/mm2.
8. State and explain the significance of the assumptions made in deriving the torsion equation. Also
state the torsion equation, and explain what each term signifies. Provide a consistent set of units
for each term.
In a torsion test, the specimen is a hollow shaft with 50 mm external and 30 mm internal diameter.
An applied torque of 1.6 kN-m is found to produce an angular twist of 0:40 measured on a length
of 0.2 m of the shaft. The Young's modulus of elasticity obtained from a tensile test has been
found to be 200 GPa. Find the values of Modulus of rigidity Poisson's ratio
UNIT V
9. Define column and effective length of a column. Distinguish between a column and a strut
between short column and long column.
A 1.5m long cast iron column has a circular cross section of 50mm diameter. One end of the
column is fixed in direction and position and the other is free. Taking factor of safety as
calculate the safe load using Rankine-Gordon formula. Take yield stress as 560 MPa and Rankine
constant 1/1600.
10. State the secant formula and explain each of the terms in it. Why is it necessary to use the
minimum radius of gyration of a section to calculate the crippling load?
A hollow cylinder CI column, 3 m long its internal and external diameters as 80 mm and
100 mm respectively. Calculate the safe load using Rankine formula: if
i. Both ends are hinged and
ii. Both ends are fixed.
Take crushing strength of material as 600 N/mm2, Rankine constant 1/1600 and factor of
safety 3.
