Note: Answer TWO full questions

1 a. Derive the expressions for normal and tangential stress on a plane inclined at ‘θ’ to the plane of stress
in x- direction in a general two dimensional stress system and show that sum of normal stress in any two
mutually perpendicular directions is constants. (8 Marks)

b. A rod of circular section is to sustain torsion of 300 KN-m and bending moment of 200 KN-m. The
yield stress of 353Mpa and assuming FOS=3.Determine the diameter of rod by using 1) Maximum
normal stress theory 2) Maximum shear stress theory. (7 Marks)

2a.An element with the stresses acting on it is as shown in fig 1. Determine the principal stresses,
principal planes, maximum shear stress and their planes by analytically. (10 Marks)

b. Define theory of failures and Explain maximum principal stress theory. (5 Marks)

3. An element with the stresses acting on it is as shown in fig 2. Determine the principal stresses,
principal planes, maximum shear stress and their planes. Also draw the Mohr’s circle to verify the results
obtained analytically. (15 Marks)
