Questions

  1. Q1

    1. a)

      A steel bar of 20mm diameter is loaded as shown in figure 1. Determine the stresses in each part and the total elongation. Take E = 210 GPa.

      [8]
    2. b)

      A brass rod 2m long is fixed at both its ends. If the thermal stress is not to exceed 76.5 MPa, calculate the temperature through which the rod should be heated. Take the value of alpha as 17 × 10 –6 /K and E = 90 GPa.

      [7]

  2. Q2

    1. a)

      A metal rod 20 mm diameter and 2 m long is subjected to a tensile force of 60 kN, it showed and elongation of 2 mm and reduction of diameter by 0.006 mm. Calculate the Poisson’s ratio and three moduli of elasticity.
