3. Explain the method of construction of B.M. and S.F. diagrams by use of

cantilever moments.

4. Show the application of bending formula to a composite beam made up

of two different materials.

5. Explain the concept of complimentary shearing stresses in shafts under

pure tension.

6. Apply following theories of failure to thin cylinders :

Principle stress theory, Principle strain theory, maximum shear stress

theory, strain energy theory and distortion energy theory.

SECTION-C

7. Following figure shows the stress condition at a point. Find the normal,

shear and resultant stresses and the direction of resultant stress for the

plane inclined at 30° as shown in figure.

8. A hollow steel shaft 8 cm outside diameter is coupled to a solid phosphor bronze shaft of 8 cm diameter. Neglecting the effect of coupling, find the suitable internal diameter of the steel shaft, if a torque is to be applied to the compound shaft to develop a maximum shear stress of 40 MaPa in the bronze shaft and a maximum shear stress of 72 MPa in the steel shaft. Angle of twist in the steel shaft is not to exceed 1°. Length of steel shaft is 1 m and of bronze shaft is 1.2 m. Also find the total angle of twist for whole of the shaft. Take G_steel = 80 GPa and G_bronze = 40 GPa.

9. Find the critical load for a standard rolled steel angle 50 × 50 × 6

(ISA 5050) column 2m long having area of angle as 5.68 cm 2 , minimum

radius of gyration as 0.96 cm, E = 210 GPa and proportional limit stress

in simple compression = 210 MPa for following conditions :

(i) the column has rounded ends

(ii) both ends are fixed

(iii) one end is fixed and the other hinged

(iv) one end is fixed and the other is free
