Question 1

If E, G and K denotes Young’s modulus, Modulus of rigidity and Bulk Modulus, respectively, for an elastic material, then which one of the following can be possible true for certain value of Poisson’s ratio.

Question 2

Two principal tensile stresses of magnitude 40 MPa and 20 MPa are acting at a point across two perpendicular planes. An oblique plane makes an angle of 30 ° with the major principal plane. The normal stress on the oblique plane is

Question 3

The modulus of rigidity and the bulk modulus of a material are found as 70 GPa and 150 GPa respectively.
(i) elasticity modulus is 200 GPa
(ii) Poisson‟s ratio is 0.22
(iii) elasticity modulus is 182 GPa
(iv) Poisson‟s ratio is 0.3
Which of the above statements are correct?

Question 4

An elastic material of Young’s modulus E and ratio v is subjected to a compressive stress of σ1 in the longitudinal direction. Suitable lateral compressive stress σ2 are also applied along the other two lateral directions to limit the net strain in each of the directions to half of the magnitude that would be under σ1 acting along. The magnitude of σ2 is

Question 8

A beam is said to be of uniform strength if
A. The bending moment is the same throughout the beam
B. The shear stress is the same throughout the beam
C. The deflection is the same throughout the beam
D. The bending stress is the same at every section along its longitudinal axis
Answer ||| D
Solution ||| Section modulus (Z) represents the strength of the section. A beam is said to be of uniform strength if the bending stress is the same at every section along its longitudinal axis.
