Ce 6452 SM Int I

This document contains instructions for an internal test in solid mechanics for second year aeronautical engineering students. It includes 7 short answer questions in Part A worth 2 marks each, and 4 long answer problems in Part B worth 12 marks each. Problem 1 in Part B provides data from a tensile test on mild steel and asks to calculate young's modulus, stress at elastic limit, percentage elongation, and percentage decrease in area. Problem 2 asks to calculate the necessary force P3 for equilibrium of a member under different loads. Problem 3 asks to calculate stresses in concrete and steel reinforcement of a reinforced concrete column. Problem 4 asks to calculate stresses in steel and brass rods supporting a load. The test is worth 50 total marks and lasts 1 hour

subjected to an axial load P. Determine the total change in length of the bar. Take
youngs modulus of different sections same.
3. State Hookes law.
4. What is composite bar? How will you find the stresses and load carried by each member
of a composite bar?
5. What do you mean by thermal stresses?
6. Define elastic limit? And define youngs modulus?
7. Find an expression for the total elongation of a bar due to its own weight, when the bar is
fixed at its upper end and hanging freely at the lower end.
PART B
Answer any THREE

3 *12 = 36 MARKS

1. A tensile test was conducted on a mild steel bar. The following data was obtained from
the test.
1. Diameter of the steel bar
= 3 cm
2. Gauge length of the bar
= 20 cm
3. Load at elastic limit
= 250 kN
4. Extension at a load of 150 kN
= 0.21 mm
5. Maximum load
= 380 kN
6. Total extension
= 60 mm
7. Diameter of the rod at the failure = 2.25 cm
Determine: (a) the youngs modulus, (b) the stress at elastic limit, (c) the percentage
elongation, and (d) the percentage decrease in area.
2. A member ABCD is subjected to print loads P1, P2, P3 and P4 as shown in figure.
Calculate the force P3 necessary for equilibrium if P1 = 120 kN, P2 = 220 kN and P4 =
160kN. Determine also the net change in the length of the member. Take E = 200 GN/m2.

3. A reinforced short concrete column 250 mm x 250 mm in section is reinforced with 8


steel bars. The total area of steel bars is 1608.50 mm2. The column carries a load of 270
kN. If the modulus of elasticity for steel is 18 times that of concrete, find the stresses in
the concrete and steel. If the stress in concrete shall not exceed 4 N/mm2, find the area of
steel required so that the column may support a load of 400 kN.
4. A steel rod of cross-sectional area 1600 mm2 and two brass rods each of cross-sectional
area of 1000mm2 together support a load of 50 kN as shown in figure.

Find the stresses in the rods. Take E for steel = 2 x 105 N/mm2 and E for brass = 1 x 105
N/mm2.
All the best
