Attempt any Five

Make Necessary Assumptions
1. At a point, σx=+3Mpa, σy=+1Mpa, xy=+2 Mpa
(a) Find the principal stresses and show their sense on a properly oriented element
(b) Find the maximum shear stresses with the associated normal stresses and show
the result on a properly oriented element.
2. Using the second order differential equation, determine the equation of the elastic
curve of a cantilever beam as shown in the figure. Then, find the deflection and
slope of the elastic curve at the free end of the beam. The flexural rigidity is
constant. If P=20 KN, L=2m, I=10x10 6 mm4 and E=210 GPa. Compute the
numerical value of the deflection (mm) and the slope (radian).

3.Compute the vertical deflection at point C of the beam as shown in the figure and
change in slope of the cross section at A and B (i.e. A and B ). E and I are
constant. Use virtual work method.
