Answer the following Question

1. The tensile test was conducted on a mild steel bar. The following data was obtained from the test:
Diameter of steel bar = 16mm
Load at proportionality limit = 72kN
Load at failure = 80kN
Diameter of the rod at failure = 12mm
Gauge length of the bar = 80mm
Extension at a load of 60kN = 0.115mm
Final gauge length of the bar = 104mm.
Determine: i) Young’s modulus; ii) Proportionality limit; iii) True breaking stress; iv) Percentage elongation.
2. Determine the magnitude of the load P necessary to produce zero net change in the length of the straight bar as
shown in fig. Area of cross section = 400mm2. AB=2m, BC=1m and CD=1m

 stresses and its locations; iii) Maximum shear stresses and its location.

5. A thick cylinder with internal diameter 80mm and external diameter 120mm is subjected to an external pressure
of 40N/mm2, when the internal pressure is 120N/mm2, calculate circumferential stress at external and internal
surfaces of the cylinder. Plot the variation of circumferential stress and radial pressure on the thickness of the
cylinder. Plot the variation of circumferential stress and radial pressure on the thickness of the cylinder.
6. A stepped bar is subjected to an external loading as shown in fig. Calculate the change in the length of bar. Take
E = 200GPa for steel, E = 70GPa for aluminium and E = 100GPa for copper. AB = 300mm, BC = 200mm,
CD = 200mm. dia of steel = 20d, dia of copper = 50d.

7. A 25mm diameter steel rod passes concentrically through a bronze tube 400mm long. 50mm external diameter
and 40mm internal diameter. The end of the steel rod is threaded and provided with the nuts and washers which
are adjusted initially as that there is no end play at 20°C. Assuming that there is no change in the thickness of
the washers, find the stress produced in the steel and there is no bronze when one of the nuts is tightened by
giving it one-tenth of a turn, the pitch of the thread being 2.5mm. Take E for steel = 200kN/mm2 and E for
bronze = 100kN/mm2.

9. A CI pipe has 200mm internal diameter and 50mm metal thickness and carries water under a pressure of
5N/mm2. Calculate the maximum and minimum intensities of circumferential stress and sketch the distribution
of circumferential stress and radial pressure across the section.

10. Rails are laid such that there is no stress in them at 24°C. if the rails are 32m long, determine:
i) The stress in the rails at 80°C, when there is no allowance for expansion.
ii) The stress in the rails at 80°C, when there is an expansion allowance of 8mm per rail.
iii) The expansion allowance for no stress in the rails at 80°C.
Coefficient of linear expansion α = 11*10-6 /°C and Young’s modulus E = 205Gpa.
