Q1. What are different types of loading that can be applied on

different orientation on bodies? Show them in diagram with forces
developed on it.
Q2. What is the major difference between rigid and deformable
solid objects? What are the properties of matter that define these
characteristics?
Q3. What are the limitations of Hooke’s law? For what purposes
this law can be used?
Q4. How do glass and copper differ based on Hooke’s law? What does
it signify?
Q5. Why is safety factor used and how is it calculated?
Q6. What is the basic procedure of completing a design of any
structure? Illustrate it in proper flow chart.
Q7. Explain with the help of diagram how resultant stresses are
developed in a body due to moment, torsion and thermal gradient.
Q8. How can normal strain, shear strain and thermal strain be
distinguished from each other?
Q9. Show 3 examples each for statically determinate and
indeterminate structures.
Q10. What are the basic common features of simple bending and
torsion theories?
Q11. What do you mean by series and parallel combination of tubes?
How are they dealt with while finding the developed shear stress
upon the application of torque?
Q12. What is the purpose of defining neutral axis while dealing
with simple bending theory?
Q13. What is the practicality of defining and a term second moment
of area? How does it vary with polar second moment of area?
