Note: (i) Attempt all the questions.

(i) Assume suitable data if required.

1. a) Write the stress tensor for a three dimensional block element and show the stresses
in the block element with proper notation.
b) Write the strain and stress matrix for 2-D plane strain and plane stress problem.
c) Prove that in case of pure shear there is no change of volume occurs after loading.
d) Discuss: Strain Rosette
e) Discuss stress strain behavior of a low ductile material.

2. a) A steel circular rod tappers from 20 mm diameter to 40 mm in a central axis length of 1
m. Find how much of this length will increase under a pull of 60 kN. Take E= 210 GPa

b) At a point on the surface of a cylinder, the material is subjected to stresses

 x  84MPa ,  y  30MPa and  xy  32 MPa . Determine principal stress and principal
plane. Also draw Mohr’s circle to show the principal stresses and principal plane. (3)
