Solution
S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. Stress concentration in static loading is more serious in Brittle material because in case of ductile material local yielding will take place so chances of stress concentration is less as yielding is missing in brittle material.
S2. Ans.(d)
Sol. Given,
L = 100 cm, d = 4 cm, P = 50 kN
σ=P/Q=P/(π/4 d^2 )
=4P/(πd^2 ) =(4×50×10^3)/(π×[0.04]^2 )
=39.789 MPa
=40 N\/mm^2
S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. No stress will develop because it is already mention in the question that bar is free to expand.
S4. Ans.(d)
Sol.
In this beam strain energy is because of shear force and bending moment but due to shear force is not considerable in amount so can be neglected than, Strain energy due to bending only
U=∫0toL((M_xy )^2 dx)/2EI
U_AB=∫0toL((Px)^2 dx)/2EI
U_AB=[(P^2 x^3)/(3×2EI)]_0^2
(U_AB=(P^2 L^3)/6EI)
S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. the Mohr’s circle is used to determine the stress components and i.e. the co-ordinates of any point on the circle when stresses are on inclined surface, then tangential stress can be determined because the normal stress and tangential stress are to be already known.
S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. for compensate the torque addition of bending moment is required
T_e=√(T^2+m^2 )
13=√((12)^2+m^2 )
169=12^2+m^2
169-144=m^2
m=5kNm
S7. Ans.(b)
Sol. if L is the span of a light suspension bridge, where, each cable carries total weight (W) and the central dip is ‘y’ the horizontal pull at each support is
= Wl⁄8y
S8. Ans.(d)
Sol. in case of solid disk flywheel,
Maximum tangential stress (σ_t ) = maximum radial stress (σ_t )
σ_t=σ_r
∵σ_t/σ_r =1
S9. Ans.(b)
Sol. we know that, the volumetric strain is
∈_V=δV/V=Pd/4tE (5-4μ)
Given that, hoop stress = pd/2t=200 MPa
Now,
∈_v=1/2×hoop stress×1/E=(5-4μ)
=1/2×200×1/(200×10^3 )×(5-4×0.025)
=2/1000
S10. Ans.(c)
Sol. we know that, the crippling load
P_Cr=(π^2 EI)/(le^2 )
le=l/2 (When one end fixed and one end hinged)
