TIME : 2 Hrs
Answer any 4 questions

Max. Marks : 25

1. Considering as three dimensional problem of elasticity evaluate displacements in

a prismatical bar under its own weight.
2. Explain the difference in behavior of a circular shaft and straight bars under
torsion. Hence explain saint venants Semi inverse method. Apply the same to an
elliptical cross section and obtain shear stress and displacements in the cross
section.
3. How is membrane analogy applied to a problem of torsion in non-circular shafts,
evaluate shear stress in a narrow rectangular section and apply the same to twist in
rolled profiled steel sections.
4. If a cantilever beam is subjected to point load at the free end calculate shear
stresses if the cross section is circular.
5. Explain soap film method
6. Explain briefly
i)

Torsion of hollow shaft

ii)

Strain energy of bodies

iii)

The principle of superposition

iv)

Failure theories or yield criterion in plastic behavior
