FACTOR OF SAFETY DEC2010

the ratio of the ultimate strength of a member or piece of material (as in an airplane) to the
actual working stress or the maximum permissible stress when in use.

What are the two types of fillet weld?

i. Longitudinal or parallel fillet weld
II.Transverse fillet weld
UNIT-4
What semi elliptical leaf springs?
The spring consists of number of leaves, which are held together by Uclips. The long
leaf fastened to the supported is called master leaf. Remaining leaves are called as
graduated leaves
Define the term fluctuation of speed and fluctuation of energy.DEC2014
The ratio of maximum fluctuation of speed to the mean speed is
called co efficient of fluctuation of speed.
The ratio of fluctuation of energy to the mean energy is called coefficient of fluctuation of
energy
Why concentric springs are used? MAY 2015
a. To get greater spring force within a given space
b. To insure the operation of a mechanism in the event of failure of one of
the spring
What are the requirements of spring while designing? DEC 2011
c. Spring must carry the service load without the stress
exceeding the safe value.
The spring rate must be satisfactory for the given application
UNIT-5
What is a journal bearing? MAY 2014
A journal bearing is a sliding contact bearing which gives lateral
support to the rotating shaft
Classify the types of bearings. MAY 2014
i. Depending upon the type of load coming upon the shaft:
a. Radial bearing
b. Thrust bearings.
ii. Depending upon the nature of contact:
a. Sliding contact
b. Rolling contact bearings or Antifriction bearings. Closed coil helical spring
Open coil helical spring The spring wires are coiled very closely, each turn is
nearly at right angles to the axis of helix The wires are coiled such that there is a
gap between the two consecutive turns. Helix angle is less than 10 o Helix angle
is large (>10o)
What is known as self acting bearing? MAY2015
The pressure is created within the system due to rotation of the
shaft, this type of bearing is known as self acting bearing.
