1. The bar shown in figure is subjected to a tensile load of 160 KN. If the stress in the middle portion is limited to 150 N/mm2,
determine the diameter of the middle portion. Find also the length of the middle portion if the total elongation of the bar is to be
0.2 mm. Young’s modulus is given as equal to 2.1 × 105 N/mm2. A/M 2021
2. For the compound bar shown in figure. Calculate the stress in each segment if the temperature increases by 50°C. Assume for the
aluminum segment: Area = 400mm2, Young’s modulus = 70 GPa, Co-efficient of thermal expansion= 23x10-6/°C and for steel
segment: Area =100mm2, Young’s modulus = 210 GPa, Co-efficient of thermal expansion = 12.4 x 10-6/°C. N/D 2021
3. i) Derive the relationship between Young’s modulus and bulk modulus. N/D 2022
ii) A metallic rod of diameter 10mm, when tested under an axial pill of 10 KN was found to reduce its diameter by 0.003mm. The

4. At a certain point in a strained material, the intensities of stresses on two planes at right angles to each other are 20 N/mm2 and 10
N/mm2 both tensile. They are accompanied by a shear stress of magnitude 10 N/mm2. Find the location of principal plane and
evaluate the principal stresses. A/M 2021, N/D 2022

tangential stresses across the oblique plane. Also verify the normal and tangential stresses analytically. N/D 2019
3. A cantilever 1.5 m long is loaded with a UDL of 2 kN/m run over a length of 1.25 m from the free end. It also carries a point
load of 3 kN at a distance of 0.25m from the free end. Draw the Shear force and bending moment diagrams of the cantilever.
