  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0

    Modulus of rigidity and Poisson’s ratio are 0.4 × 105 MPa and 0.34 respectively. The Young’s modulus of elasticity is

    Solutions

    Concept :

    E = Young's Modulus of Rigidity = Stress / strain

    G = Shear Modulus or Modulus of rigidity = Shear stress / Shear strain

    ν = Poisson’s ratio = - lateral strain / longitudinal strain

    K = Bulk Modulus of elasticity = Direct stress / Volumetric strain

    Relation between E, K and ν

    E = 2G (1 + ν)

    E = 3K (1 - 2ν)

    Calculation :

    G = 0.4 × 105 MPa, ν = 0.34

    E = 2G (1 + ν) = 2 × 0.4 × 105 × (1 + 0.34) ≈ 1.1 × 105 MPa

  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0

    If ‘Y’ is deflection at point A due to point load ‘W’ at point B, then find the deflection at point B due to point load ‘W/2’ at point A.

    Solutions

    Concept:

    Using Maxwell reciprocal theorem,

    (deflection)A(Load)B=(deflection)B(Load)A

    Calculation:

    YW=(deflection)BW2

    (deflection)B=Y2

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0

    For a long slender column of uniform cross section, the ratio of critical buckling load for the case with both ends hinged to the case with both ends clamped is

    Solutions

    Concept:

    Euler’s critical buckling load (Pe)=π2EIminLe2

    Where, Imin = minimum area moment of Inertia, E = young’s modulus of elasticity, Le = Equivalent length = L ⋅ α

    α for different loading conditions are different

    Calculation:

    Given: 

    Two columns,

    both ends are fixed, Le = L × 0.5 

    both ends are hinged Le = L × 1

    Pe1(Le)2

    (Pe)Both hinged(Pe)Both clamped  =1(L×1)2×(L×0.5)21=0.25

  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0

    Deflection at free end if given cantilever of span L is subjected to concentrated load P and a moment M as shown in figure

    Solutions

    Concept:

    Deflection of the cantilever to paint load P at the free end is

    (δ)load=PL33EI (downward)

    Deflection of the cantilever for concentrated moment M at a free end

    (δ)moment=ML22EI (upward)

    ∴ Total deflection at free end  = (δ)load + (δ)moment

    =PL33EI+(Ml22EI)

    δ=PL33EIML22EI

  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0

    The bending moment distribution in a beam is a function of distance x and it is given by M = (5x2 + 20x - 7) Nm. Find the shear stress at x = 2m if the shearing area is 2 mm2.

    Solutions

    Concept:

    shearforce,F=dMdx

    Calculation:

    Bending moment (M) = (5x2 + 20x - 7)

    Now,

    shearforce,F=dMdx

    ∴ F = 10x + 20

    Now,

    (F)(x = 2 m) = 10(2) + 20

    F = 40 N

    Now,

    shear stress (τ)=FA=402

    ∴ τ = 20 MPa

  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0

    A steel rod 3 m long with a cross sectional area of 250 mm2 is stretched between two fixed points. The tensile force is 12000 N at 40°C. Using E = 200 × 103 N/mm2 and α = 11.7 × 10-6 mm/mm°C.

    Calculate the temperature at which the tensile stress in the bar will be 100 N/mm2.

    Solutions

    Explanation:

    The rod is stretched so there will be initial tensile stress.

    Initial stress =σA=12000250=48N/mm2 

    Final stress = 100 N/mm2

    Additional stress required due to temperature change:

    σth = σfin = σini = 100 – 48 = 52 N/mm2

    Thermal stress:

    σth = αΔTE

    52 = 11.7 × 10-6 × ΔT × 200 × 103

    ΔT = T2 – Ti = 22.22 °C 

    Note: - (Temperature will be reduced as tensile stress needs to be generated)

    40°– T2   = 22.22 ⇒ T2 = 17.8°C

  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0

    A steel rod of cross-sectional area 10 mm2 is subjected to loads at points P, Q, R and S as shown in the figure below:

    If Esteel = 200 GPa, the total change in length of the rod due to loading is

    Solutions

    Concept:

    Change in length due to axial loading is,

    Δl=PLAE

    Where, P = axial load, L =initial length, A = cross-sectional area of bar, E = young’s modulus of elasticity

    Calculation:

     

     

    Total change in length ∆l = ∆lPQ + ∆lQR + ∆lRS

    For the section PQ: l = 500 mm, P = 200 N

    For the section QR: l = 1000 mm, P = -200 N

    For the section RS: l = 500 mm, P = 100 N 

    Δl=200×50010×2×105+200×100010×2×105+100×50010×2×105=25×103mm

  • Question 8/10
    1 / -0

    A thin cylindrical shell 2.5 m long and a diameter of 1.25 m has a thickness of 20 mm. Then the change in dimension of diameter of the shell which is subjected to measure of 1.5 MPa is ______mm (Take Young's Modulus E = 200 GPa, and Poisson's Ratio μ = 0.3)

    Solutions

    Concept:

    For a thin cylinder:

    Longitudinal stress: σL=pd4t

    Hoop stress: σh=pd2t=2σL

    Longitudinal Strain:

    ϵL=1E(σLμσH)=σLE(12μ)=pd4tE(12μ)

    Circumferential or hoop strain:

    ϵH=1E(σHμσL)=σLE(2μ)=pd4tE(2μ)

    Calculation:

    Given, l = 2.5 m = 2500 mm, d = 1.25 m = 1250 mm, t = 20 mm

    P = 1.5 MPa, E = 200 GPa = 200 × 103 MPa, μ = 0.3

    In cylindrical shell Hoop strain ϵH=δdd=Pd4tE (2μ)

    δD=Pd24tE(2μ)

    δD=1.5×125024×20×200×103(20.3)

    δD = 0.249 mm

  • Question 9/10
    1 / -0

    Direct stresses of 120 N/mm2 (tensile) and 90 N/mm2 (compressive) exist on two perpendicular planes at a certain point in a body. They are also accompanied by shear stresses on the planes. The greater principal stress at the point due to these is 150 N/mm2. The shear stress on these planes is equal to

    Solutions

    Concept:

    σ1,2=12[(σx+σy)±(σxσy)2+4τxy2]τmax=σ1σ22

    Calculation:

    Given: σx = 120 N/mm2, σy = -90 N/mm2, σ1 = 150 N/mm2

    σ1,2=12[(σx+σy)±(σxσy)2+4τxy2]

    σ1=12[(12090)+(120+90)2+4(τ)2]=150

    30+(210)2+4(τ)2=300  

    ⇒ (210)2 + 4(τ)2 = (270)2

    τ = 84.85 N/mm2

    Shear stress on these plane = 84 MPa

    Confusion Point:

    Sum of normal stress = sum of principal stress

    σx + σy = σ1 + σ2

    120 – 90 = 150 + σ2

    σ2 = -120 N/mm2

    τmax=σ1σ22=150(120)2=135N/mm2

    This is maximum shear stress, not shear stress on the oblique plane.

  • Question 10/10
    1 / -0

    In an unsymmetrical beam under bending, the maximum compressive stress at the top is 1200 MPa and the maximum tensile stress at the bottom is 300 MPa. If the beam is 80 mm deep, the neutral axis from the top surface will be:

    Solutions

    Concept:

    The neutral axis is an axis in the cross-section of a beam (a member resisting bending) or shaft along which there are no longitudinal stresses or strains. If the section is symmetric, isotropic and is not curved before a bend occurs, then the neutral axis is at the geometric centroid. All fibers on one side of the neutral axis are in a state of tension, while those on the opposite side are in compression.

    Bending Stress distribution for symmetric I section

    Calculation:

    Using similar triangle property,

    1200x=30080x

    1200 (80 - x) = 300x

    96000 – 1200x = 300x

    96000 = 1500x

    x = 64 mm
