2. State and explain Maxwell's theorem of reciprocal deflection.
3. A shaft is subjected to a maximum torque of 10 kNm and a maximum bending moment
of 7.5 kNm, at a particular section. If the allowable equivalent stress in simple tension is
160 MN/m2, find the diameter of the shaft according to strain energy theory.
4. A cylindrical vessel whose ends are closed by means of rigid flange plates is made of
steel plate 3 mm thick. The internal length and diameter of the vessel are 50 cm and
25 cmrespectively. Determine the longitudinal and circumferential stresses in the
cylindrical shell due to an internal fluid pressure of 3 MN/m2. Also, calculate increase in
length, diameter and volume of the vessel. Take, E = 200 GN/m2, and Poisson's
ratio = 0.3.
