Part-A

1. Define modulus of resilience and proof resilience. (April 2017)

2. Define: "Factor of safety" (Nov/Dec 2015)
3. Determine the force required to punch a hole of 20mm diameter in a 5mm thick plate with ultimate shear
strength of 250MPa. (Nov 2014)
4. What are the methods used to improve fatigue strength? (Dec 2013)
5. State Rankine theory of failure and its limitations.
Part-B
1. A machine component is subjected to fluctuating stress that varies from 50 to 100 N/mm 2. The corrected
endurance limit stress for the machine component is 270 N/mm 2. The ultimate tensile strength and yield
strength of material are 600 and 400 N/mm 2 respectively. Find the factor of safety using: (i) Soderberg line
(iii) Goodman line and (iv) Also, find factor of safety against static failure. (13 Mark)
2. A circular bar of 500 mm length is supported freely at its two ends. It is acted upon by a central concentrated
cyclic load having a minimum value of 30 kN and a maximum value of 60 kN. Determine the diameter of bar
by taking a factor of safety of 1.5, size effect of 0.85, surface finish factor of 0.9. The material properties of
bar are given by ultimate strength of 650 MPa, yield strength of 500 MPa and endurance strength of 350 MPa.
