‘Time : Three hours [3221] ‘M.Tech, DEGREE EXAMINATION, Second Semester Civil Engineoring Structural Engineering ‘THEORY OF PLATES AND SHELLS (Common with M.Tech. Structural Engineering and Natural Disaster Management) (Bffective from the admitted batch of 2015-2016) ‘Maximum : 70 marks Anower any FIVE questions. All questions carry equal marks, Derive an equation for deflection of a simply supported circular plates subjected to uniformly distributed load of intensity q. Calculate ‘maximum deflection when edges are clamped. Obtain the solution for the deflected surface of a rectangular plate resting on an elastic subgrade ‘when two of its edgos parallel to y-axis are simply supported and the other two edges are clamped Which of the two methods — Navier’s and Levy's — is more suitable for solving plate problems involving edges other than simply supported: Justify your answer? Derive the three equations of equilibrium using membrane theory for shell of double curvature other than shell of revolution. Derive an expression for the strain energy of a laterally loaded plate with small deflections. (@) Derive the governing differential equation of membrane shell of revolution. (&) Solve the spherical shells subjected to ‘symmetrical loading of stress resultant, (@) Define shell and explain its advantages and disadvantages. () Derive general equation for deflection of iroular cylindrical shell loaded symmetric with respect to its axis. (@) Discuss the difference between D-K-J and ‘Schorer theories of shell structures, () Explain different types of hyperbolic paraboloids with sketches. 2 (e221)
