Answer any FOUR questions
All parts of the question must be answered in one place only

1. (a) Explain with reasons which theory of failure is best suited for: i) Ductile materials
ii) Brittle material [BL: Understand| CO: 4|Marks: 2]
(b) The principal stresses at a point in an elastic material are 22 N /mm2 tensile, 110 N /mm2 tensile
and 55 N /mm2 compressive. If the elastic limit in simple tension is 220 N /mm2 and 1/m = 0.3,
then determine whether the failure of material will occur or not according to
i) Maximum principal stress theory
ii) Maximum principal strain theory [BL: Apply| CO: 4|Marks: 3]

2. (a) Show that max shear stress in a solid circular shaft is 1.33 times of average shear stress when it
is subjected to a bending moment. [BL: Understand| CO: 5|Marks: 2]
(b) A circular beam of 100 mm diameter is subjected to a shear force of 30 KN. Calculate the value
of maximum shear stress and sketch the variation of shear stress along the depth of the beam.

3. (a) Determine the slope and deflection of simply supported beam with uniformly varying load by
double integration method. [BL: Understand| CO: 5|Marks: 2]
(b) A simply supported beam of span 3 m is subjected to a central load of 10 kN. Find the maximum
slope and deflection of the beam. Take I = 12 ×106 mm4 and E = 200 GPa.

4. (a) What is Indian standard code for columns. Are you satisfied with the factor of safety of 1.68.
Give explanation to your answer. [BL: Understand| CO: 6|Marks: 2]
(b) A closely coiled helical spring is made of 6 mm wire. The maximum shear stress and deflection
under a 200 N load is not to exceed 80 MPa and 11 mm respectively. Determine the no. of coils
and their mean diameter. Take C = 84 MPa. [BL: Apply| CO: 6|Marks: 3]

5. (a) Explain the term ‘slenderness ratio’ and describe with mathematical expression, how it limits the
use of Euler’s formula for crippling load. [BL: Understand| CO: 6|Marks: 2]
(b) A hollow alloy tube 4 m long with external and internal diameters of 40 mm and 25 mm respec-
tively was found to extend 4.8 mm under a tensile load of 60 kN. Find the buckling load for the
tube with both ends pinned. Also find the safe load on the tube, taking a factor of safety as 5.
