ANSWER ANY FOUR
1. Write short notes on:
(a) Breakeven analysis
(b) Ergonomics in engineering design
2.(a) Discuss the effect of dynamic contact stresses in surface failures.
(b) Write a note on the material and process selection in value Engineering.
3.(a) The work cycle of a mechanical component subjected to completely reversed
bending stresses consists of the following elements:
i) 350 N/mm2 for 85% of time,
ii) 400 N/mm2 for 12% of time, and
iii) 500 N/mm2 for 3% of time.
The material of the component is 50C4 (Sut = 660 N/mm2), and the corrected
endurance strength of the component is 280 N/mm2. Determine the life of the
component.
(b) Distinguish between the design procedures for surface failure due to adhesive
wear and abrasive wear
4.a) The force acting on a bolt consists of two components an axial pull of 12 kN, and a
transverse shear force of 6 kN. The bolt is made of steel FeE 310 Syt = 310 N/mm2), and
the factor of safety is 2.5. Determine the diameter of the bolt using the maximum shear
stress theory of failure.
b) What are the different fatigue failure models? Explain with suitable examples
5.a) Explain the difference between the criteria of design for limited cycles and
design for multiple stress cycles, with suitable examples.
b) Distinguish between the harmful and beneficial residual stresses. Mention, with
suitable examples, where they would occur.
6. a) What is the importance of material and process selection in value engineering? Explain.
b) What are the different types of oil films that can exist between two mating surfaces?
Discuss their effects on the surface failure.
