2. Sketch and discuss the various types of welded joints used in pressure vessels. What are
the considerations involved?
3. State the basic difference between manual welding, semi-automatic welding and
automatic welding.
4. What are the assumptions made in the design of welded joint?
5. Explain joint preparation with particular reference to butt welding of plates by arc
welding.
6. Discuss the standard location of elements of a welding symbol.
7. Explain the procedure for designing an axially loaded unsymmetrical welded section.
8. What is an eccentric loaded welded joint ? Discuss the procedure for designing such a
joint.
9. What do you understand by the single start and double start threads ?
10. Define the following terms :
11. (a) Major diameter, (b) Minor diameter, (c) Pitch, and (d) Lead.
12. Write short note on nut locking devices covering the necessity and various types. Your
answer should be illustrated with neat sketches.
13. Discuss the significance of the initial tightening load and the applied load so far as bolts
are concerned.
14. Explain which of the above loads must be greater for a properly designed bolted joint
and Show how each affects the total load on the bolt.
15. Discuss on bolts of uniform strength giving examples of practical applications of such
bolts.
16. Bolts less than M 16 should normally be used in pre loaded joints. Comment.
17. How the core diameter of the bolt is determined when a bracket having a rectangular
base is bolted to
18. A wall by four bolts and carries an eccentric load parallel to the axis of the bolt?
19. Derive an expression for the maximum load in a bolt when a bracket with circular base is
bolted to a wall by means of four bolts.
20. Explain the method of determining the size of the bolt when the bracket carries an
eccentric load perpendicular to the axis of the bolt.
21. Sketch the cross-section of a V-belt and label its important parts.
22. What are the advantages and disadvantages of V-belt drive over flat belt drive?
23. Derive the relation for the ratio of driving tensions of a V-belt.
24. Describe the fibre ropes. What are its advantages? Draw a neat proportionate sketch of
a sheave for fibre ropes.
25. Under what circumstances a fibre rope and a wire rope is used? What are the
advantages of a wire rope over fibre rope?
26. Discuss the uses and construction of wire ropes. How is wire-rope ends fastened?
27. Give the application of the following wire ropes :
28. (a) 6 × 7 rope (b) 6 × 19 rope, and (c) 6 × 37 rope.
29. Discuss the different types of belts and their material used for power transmission.
30. Discuss the various important parameters necessary for the selection of a particular
drive for power transmission.
31. What are the factors upon which the coefficient of friction between the belt and the
pulley depends?
32. How are ends of belts joined? For horizontal belts which side (tight or slack) of the belt
should run on the top and why?
33. Explain, with the help of neat sketches, the types of various flat belt drives.
34. List and discuss briefly the factors that control the power transmission capacity of a belt
