STRENGTH OF MATERIALS Two marks questionsUNIT-I1. Define tensile stress and tensile strain.

The stress induced in a body, when subjected to two equal and opposite pulls, as aresult of which there is an increase in length, is known as tensile stress. The ratio of increase in length to th original length is known as tensile strain. pp 2. Define compressive stress and compressive strain. The stress induced in a body, when subjected to two equal and opposite pushes, as aresult of which there is an decrease in length, is known as compressive stress. The ratio of increase in length to th original length is known as compressive strain.p p3. Define shear stress and shear strain. ppThe stress induced in a body, when subjected to two equal and oppositeforces, which are acting tangentially across the resisting section as a result of which thebody tends to shear off across the section is known as shear stress and correspondingstrain is known as shear strain 7. Write the relationship between modulus of elasticity, modulus of rigidity and Poissons ratio The relationship between modulus of elasticity, modulus of rigidity and Poissons ratio is given by E=Modulus of elasticityC=Modulus of rigidity Poissons ratio 8. If the strain in three mutually perpendicular directions are ex, ey and ez thenwhat is the value of volumetric strain? =e x +e y +e z = (P x +P y +P z )

Hookes law is stated as when a material is loaded within elastic limit, the stress is proportional to the strain produced by stress, or Stress/strain=constant. This constant is termed as modulus of elasticity. 10. Define stress and strain.Stress: The force of resistance per unit area, offered by a body againstdeformation is known as stress.Mathematically stress is written asf=P/AWhere f= stress

P=external force or load A=cross-sectional area. Unit of stress: stress is represented in N/m 2 Strain: The ratio of change in dimension to the orginal dimension when subjected toan external load is termed as strain and is denoted by e. It has no unit. 11. Define modulus of rigidity The ratio of shear stress to the corresponding shear strain when the stress iswithin the elastic limit is known as modulus of rigidity or shear modulus and is denotedby C or Gor N =

12. Define modulus of elasticity. The ratio of tensile stress or compressive stress to the corresponding strain is known as modulus of elasticity or youngs modulus and is denoted by E.

=E 13. Define Bulk modulus. When a body is subjected to an uniform direct stress in all the three mutuallyperpendicular directions, the ratio of the direct stress to the corresponding volumetricstrain is found to be a constant is called as the bulk modulus of the material and isdenoted by K.K= =

14. Define longitudinal strain and lateral strain.Longitudinal strain: longitudinal strain is defined as the deformation of thebody per unit length in the direction of the applied load.Longitudinal strain= Where L= length of the body.P= tensile force acting on the body
