11. A steel member is subjected to a 3 dimensional stress system and

the resulting principal stresses are 120 N/mm 2 tension, 80 N/mm2
and 40 N/mm2 compression. If the proportional limit of the
material in simple tension is 280 N/mm 2 and its poisons ratio is
0.3 determine the factor of safety according to (a) Maximum
principal stress theory (b) maximum principal strain theory and
(c) maximum shear stress theory.
(or)
12. A bolt subjected to a tensile load of 25 KN and a shear load of 10
KN. Determine the diameter of the bolt according to
(a) Maximum principal stress theory
(b) Maximum principal strain theory
(c) Maximum shear stress theory

14. A factor line shaft is 4.5m long and is to transmit 75kw at
200rpm. The allowable stress I shear is 49mpa and the maximum
allowable twist is 1 in a length of 20 diameter. determine t
required shaft diameter.
15. A bolt m202.5 ISO metric is subjected to a fluctuating load of 0
to 12000N. endurance strength = 210MPa. Bolt and the past are

16. A bolted assembly is subjected to an external force, which varies
from 0 to 15kn. The combined stiffness of the parts, held together
by the bolt is three times the bolt stiffness. The bolt is initially so
tightened that at 50% over load condition, the parts held together
by the bolt are just about to separate.
The bolt material has yield strength of 450N/mm 2 and ultimate
strength of 650N/mm2.
Fatigue stress concentration factor is 2.5 and reliability expected
is 95%. Assuming a FOS of 2,

of 90N to 135N. the deflection of the spring for this load range is
7.5mm.assuming a spring index of permissible shear stress of
480N/mm2 and a modulus of 0.8105N/mm2 for the material,
determine the dimensions of the spring.

subjected to a light shock load. Determine the rating life of the
Bearing.
(or)

20. Design a suitable ball bearing for an axial flow compressor to

carry a radial load of 2.5kn and a thrust load of 1.3kn. the service
imposes a light shock with shock factor 1.5 and bearing will be in
use for 35 hours per week for 4years. The speed of shaft is
900rpm and diameter of shaft is 45mm. assume X = 0.56 and Y =
