MATERIAL SCIENCE AND MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR
OF MATERIALS
(2017 Course) (Semester - I)
Time : 3 Hours] [Max. Marks : 50
Instructions to the candidates:
1) Answer any five questions.
2) Neat diagrams must be drawn wherever necessary.
3) Use of logarithmic tables, slide rule, Mollier charts, electronic pocket calculator
and stream table is allowed.
4) Figures to the right indicate full marks.
5) Assume suitable data if necessary.

Q1) a) Define nano-materials. Explain types, properties and various application

of nano materials. [6]
b) What are different strengthening mechanisms for materials. [4]

Q2) a) Write note on anisotropic elasticity. [6]

b) Write a note on anisotropic thermal expansion. [4]

Q3) a) A 13 mm-diameter tensile specimen has a 50 mm gage length. The load

corresponding to the 0.2 percent offset is 6800 kg and the maximum
load is 8400 kg. Fracture occurs at 7300 kg. The diameter after fracture
is 8 mm and the gage length at fracture is 65 mm. Calculate the standard
properties of the material from the tension test. If E = 2047GPa calculate
plastic strain. [6]
b) Explain with neat sketch Bridge men correction for metals. [4]

Q4) a) Two points on a true stress-strain curve for aluminum alloy are  =222
MPa at  = 0.05 and  =303MPa at  = 0.15. Using power law, predict
the true stress at a strain of  = 0.30. Compare the true stress using
saturation model proposed by Voce. [6]
b) A tensile bar is machined so that the diameter at one location is 1%
smaller than that for the rest of the bar. The bar is tested at high
temperature, so strain-hardening is negligible, but the strain-rate exponent
is 0.25. When the strain in the reduced region is 0.20, what is the strain in
the larger region? [4]
P.T.O.
Q5) a) The strains measured on the surface of a piece of sheet metal after
deformation are 1 = 0.182, 2 = – 0.035. The stress-strain curve in
tension can be approximated by = 30 + 40. Assume the Von Mises
criterion and assume that the loading was such that the ratio of 2/1 was
constant. Calculate the levels of 1 and 2 reached before unloading.[6]
b) Write a note on elastic recovery for engineering materials. [4]

Q6) State and explain statistical shake down theorem (Melan theorem) for an ideal
elasticplastic body subjected to variable loads which vary slowly with time
between given limits. [10]

Q7) What is viscoelasticity? Explain Maxwell Model, Voigt Model and Maxwell-
Voigt Model for rheological properties of viscoelastic material with neat sketch.
