Max. Marks: 100 Duration: 3 Hours
PART A
Answer any three full questions, each carries 10marks Marks
1 A bar 460 mm long is of diameter 25 mm for an initial length of 200 mm and (10)
40 mm diameter for the remaining length. Find the stresses produced in the
individual sections for an applied load of 20 kN and the total elongation. Take

b) Figure shows an aluminium bar of 700 mm length and of 1250 mm cross (7)
sectional area suspended from the ceiling so that its clearance is 0.5 mm
between it and a steel bar of 250 mm length and of 2500 mm2 cross sectional
area. Find the stress in the two bars when 500 kN of load is applied at 500 mm
from the ceiling, Ea=70 GPa and Es=210 GPa.
3 A brass rod 30 mm diameter is enclosed in a steel tube of 50 mm external (10)

diameter and 30 mm internal diameter is initially kept at room temperature of
28˚C. The ends of rod and tube which are of length 1.6 m are fastened. Find the
stresses developed in both the materials when the temperature is raised to

100˚C. The Young’s modulus for steel and brass are respectively 200 kN/mm2
and 100 kN/m2. The coefficient of thermal expansion values for steel and brass
are respectively 11.6 x 10-6/ ˚C and 18.7 x 10-6/ ˚C.
4 a) Derive the torsion formula with assumptions. (8)

5 a) Distinguish between roller and hinged support. ( 2)
b) A simply supported beam has a span of 9 m and carries a uniformly distributed (8)
load of 20 kN/m over the whole span along with two, point loads of 30 kN and
40 kN at 6 m and 7.5 m respectively from the left-hand support. Draw the shear
force and bending moment diagrams indicating values at the point loads.
6 A 14-m simply supported beam with an overhang at the right end is loaded as (10)
shown in Fig. It carries a load of 10 kN applied through a bracket and also a
uniformly distributed load for 8 m length from the right end. Draw the shear
force and bending moment diagram. Also find point of contra flexure.
7 a) Discuss the significance of flexural rigidity in the design of beams. (3)

b) A simply supported 150 mm wide, 300 mm deep and 4 m long beam carries a (7)
uniformly distributed load of 15 kN /m throughout the span. Determine the
maximum bending stress and also determine the bending stress at the point
which is 50 mm below the top surface and 1.2 m from the left support.
8 At critical section of a I beam, the value of shear force is 45 kN and the (10)
sectional dimensions are: flange width 200 mm, flange thickness 30 mm, web
thickness 30 mm and the total depth is 300 mm. Draw the shear stress
distribution across the depth of the section.

stress of 50 MPa. Determine the i) Principal stresses and the position of
principal planes ii) Maximum shear stress and its plane.

planes, maximum shear stress and its planes.
