Answer any TEN questions.


Each carries FIVE marks

1. A brass bar having cross-sectional area of 1000 mm2 is subjected to axial forces shown in the figure. Find the total
elongation of the bar. Modulus of elasticity of brass = 100 GN/m 2.

2. A C.I. flat, 300 mm long and of 30 mm × 50 mm uniform section, is acted upon by the following forces uniformly
distributed over the respective cross-section; 25kN in the direction of length (tensile); 350kN in the direction of the
width (compressive); and 200kN in the direction of thickness (tensile). Determine the change in volume of the flat

3. A concrete column of cross-sectional area 400 mm × 400 mm is reinforced by four longitudinal 50 mm diameter
round steel bars placed at each corner. Young’s modulus of elasticity of steel is 15 times that of concrete. If the
column carries a comprehensive load of 300kN, determine the following:
(i) Loads carried;
(ii) The compressive stress produced in the concrete and steel bars.

4. Figure shows a round steel rod supported in a recess and surrounded by co-axial brass tube. The upper end of the
rod is 0.1mm below that of the tube and an axial load is applied to a rigid plate resting on the top of the tube.
(i) Determine the magnitude of the maximum permissible load if the compressive stress in the rod is not to exceed
110 MN/m2 and that in the tube is not to exceed 80 MN/m2.
(ii) Find the amount by which the tube will be shortened by the load if the compressive stress in the tube is the same
as that in the rod.
Take: Es = 200 GN/m2; Eb = 100 GN/m2
5. A steel rod 15 m long is at a temperature of 15°C. Find the free expansion of the length when the temperature is
raised to 65°C. Take: α = 12 × 10–6 per °C, and E = 200 GN/m2. Find the temperature stress produced when:
(i) The expansion of the rod is prevented;
(ii) The rod is permitted to expand by 6 mm.

6. A steel tube 2.4 cm external diameter and 1.8 cm internal diameter encloses a copper rod 1.5 cm diameter to
which it is rigidly connected at the two ends. If at a temperature of 10°C there is no longitudinal stress, calculate the
stresses in the rod and the tube when the temperature is raised to 200°C.
Assume Es = 2.1 × 105 N/mm2; Ec = 1.0 × 105 N/mm2; αs = 11 × 10–6/°C; αc = 18 × 10–6/°C

7. A flat steel plate of trapezoidal form of uniform thickness of 20 mm tapers uniformly from a width 100 mm to
200mm in a length of 800 mm. If an axial tensile force of 100 kN is applied at each end, find the elongation of the
plate. Take, E = 205 GN/m2.

8. A bar LMNP fixed at L and P is subjected to axial forces as shown in the figure. Determine the forces in each
portion of the bar and displacement of points M and N. Take E = 200 GN/m 2

9. The following data relate to a bar subjected to a tensile test:


Diameter of the bar (d) = 30 mm
Tensile load, P = 54kN
Gauge length, l = 300 mm
Extension of the bar, მl= 0.112 mm
Change in diameter, მd = 0.00366 mm
Calculate: (i) Poisson’s ratio; (ii) The values of three modulii.

10. At a point in a material under stress, the intensity of the resultant stress on a certain plane is 50 MN/m2 (tensile)
inclined at 30° to the normal of that plane. The stress on a plane at right angles to this has a normal tensile
component of intensity of 30 MN/m2. Find:
(i) The resultant stress on the second plane.
(ii) The principal planes and stresses.
(iii) The plane of maximum shear and its intensity

11. At a point in a bracket the stresses on two mutually perpendicular planes are 400 MN/m 2 tensile and 300 MN/m2
tensile. The shear stress across these planes is 200 MN/m2. Determine the magnitude and directions of principal
stresses and maximum shear stress by graphically and check with analytically

12. A steel rod of 20 mm diameter passes centrally through a copper tube of 50 mm external diameter and 40 mm
internal diameter. The tube is closed at each end by rigid plates of negligible thickness. The nuts are tightened lightly
home on the projecting parts of the rod. If the temperature of the assembly is raised by 50°C, calculate the stresses
developed in copper and steel. Take E for steel and copper as 200 GN/m 2 and 100 GN/m2 and α for steel and copper
as 12 × 10–6 per °C and 18 × 10–6 per °C.
