1. A pressurised fluid flows from one part of a machinery to another through a thi
walled steel pipe of 25 mm external radius and 1 mm wall thickness. The ends of
this pipe may be considered as being restrained from axial displacement. Due 10
misalignment of the attachments at its ends, the pipe carries a torque of 45 Nm
when installed. The maximum pressure of the fluid is 5.2 MPa
(a) Check if yielding will occur in the wall of this pipe, assuming the von
criterion. Use the Mohr’s circle for the stress analysis
(b) Iftwo strain gauges are to be used to measure the largest and smallest values
of the direct strains in the wall at the maximum pressure, at what orientations
with respect to the cylinder axis should they be mounted on its outer surface?
What are the corresponding values of these strains?

2, A simply-supported beam of uniform cross-section is subjected to the vertical loads
through the centroid of the section as shown in Figure Q2(a). The cross-section is
shown in Figure Q2(b) with its dimensions (in mm).
(a) Using the Mohr's circle, determine the principal moments of area of the cross-
section
(b) Determine where the maximum bending moment oceurs along the span of the
beam. Indicate on a sketch of the cross-section, the direction of the moment
vector there.
(c) Calculate the orientation of the neutral axis and also show it on the sketch.
(a) Calculate the maximum compressive bending stress in the cross-section and
show the point where it occurs.
For the cross-section, the area properties with respect to the vertical and horizontal
centroidal axes are as follows:

3. A frame ABC ina structural system is built-in at A and is subjected to the vertical
load P as shown in Figure Q3. A requirement in the design is that the end Cis
permitted to displace only in the vertical direction. The frame has a uniform cross-
section of flexural rigidity EJ.
(a) Using Castigliano's theorem, determine the reaction at the support C.
(b) What is the vertical displacement at C under the external load 2?

4, A compound cylinder is to be designed for carrying an abrasive chemical under
high pressure. It is comprised of @ relatively thick tungsten-carbide liner fitted into
a steel cylinder of 40 mm intemal radius and 80 mm outer radius. The inner radius
of the liner is 35 mm. The maximum permissible pressure of the fluid is 150 MPa
and at this value, a critical requirement is that tensile stresses must not be present in
the liner due to the brittle nature of the material
(a) Determine if shrink-fit is necessary. If affirmative, what is the minimum radial
interference between the mating surfaces of the liner and the stee! cylinder?
The axial stresses in the cylinders are negligible.
(b) What is the factor of safety against yielding in the steel cylinder under the
above limiting conditions, assuming the maximum shear siress yield criterion?

A force P = 5 kN acts on the web of an aluminium alloy beam as shown in
Q3. The thickness of both the web and the fla 5 mm, and all the other
dimensions of the cross-section are as indicated in the figure, A trainee engineer
had been tasked to determine the position where the force should be applied so that
the beam will be subject to pure bending action: he had calculated it to be at a
250 mm. To the alarm of his supervisor, when the beam is in service, twisting 0
the cross-section is clearly evident.
(a) What is the torque that the beam is also subjected to at this load position?
(b) What is the angle of twist per unit length of the beam?
The shear modulus of the aluminium alloy, G=27 GPa.
