carries a load of 400 kN along the lineYG, where G is the centroid of the section. Calculate (i) Stresses at the points A,
Band C of the mid section of the beam (ii) Deflection of the beam at themid-section and its direction with the load line
(iii) Position of the neutral axis.Take E = 200 GN/m2
12.(i)define fatigue (ii)what is the polar moment of inertia (ii)what is symmetrical bending
(iv)what are the reasons for unsymmetrical bending occurring in the beams.(NOV/DEC 2013)
13. thick cylinder of external and internal diameter of 350 mm and 200 mm is subjected to an internal pressure of 45
N/mm2and external pressure 5N/mm2 Determine the stress in the material. Now if the external pressure is doubled, what
internal pressure canbe maintained without exceeding the previously determine maximum stress? (nov/dec 2010)
14. Write brief technical note on: (4 4 =16)
(i) Unsymmetrical bending of beams
(ii) Curved beams
(iii) Stress concentration
(iv) Significance of shear centre. (nov/dec 2010)
15. A 80 80 10 mm angle is used as a simply supported beam over a span of 2.4m. It carries a load of 400kN along the
vertical axis passing through the centroid of the section. Determine the resulting bending stress on the outer corners of the
section along the middle section of the beam. (april/may 2011)
16.A central horizontal section of hook is a symmetrical trapezium 60 mm deep,the inner width being 60mm and the outer
being 30 mm. Estimate the extreme intensities of stress when the hook carries a load of 30 kN, the load line passing 40mm
from the inside edge of the section and the centre of curvature being in the load line. . (april/may 2011)
