1. A specimen of steel 20 mm diameter with a gauge length of 200 mm is tested to destruction. It has an
extension of 0.25 mm under a load of 80 kN and the load at elastic limit is 102 kN. The maximum load
is 130 kN. The total extension at fracture is 56 mm and diameter at neck is 15 mm. Find
(i) The stress at elastic limit.
(ii) Youngs modulus.
(iii) Percentage elongation.
(iv) Percentage reduction in area.
(v) Ultimate tensile stress.

2. A bar of length 1000 mm and diameter 30 mm is centrally bored for 400 mm, the bore diameter being
10 mm as shown in Fig. Under a load of 30kN, if the extension of the bar is 0.222 mm, what is the
modulus of elasticity of the bar?

3. A bar of 25 mm diameter is tested in tension. It is observed that when a load of 60 kN is applied, the
extension measured over a gauge length of 200 mm is 0.12 mm and contraction in diameter is 0.0045
mm. Find Poissons ratio and elastic constants E, G, K.
4. A 400 mm long bar has rectangular cross-section 10 mm 30 mm. This bar is subjected to (i) 15 kN
tensile force on 10 mm 30 mm faces, (ii) 80 kN compressive force on 10 mm 400 mm faces, and
(iii) 180 kN tensile force on 30 mm 400 mm faces. Find the change in volume if E = 2 105 N/mm2
and = 0.3.
5. A compound bar consists of a circular rod of steel of 25 mm diameter rigidly fixed into a copper tube of
internal diameter 25 mm and external diameter 40 mm as shown in Fig. If the compound bar is subjected
to a load of 120 kN, find the stresses developed in the two materials. Take Es = 2 105 N/mm2 and Ec =
1.2 105 N/mm2.

6. Three pillars, two of aluminium and one of steel support a rigid platform of 250 kN as shown in Fig. If
area of each aluminium pillar is 1200 mm2 and that of steel pillar is 1000 mm2, find the stresses
developed in each pillar. Take Es = 2 105 N/mm2 and Ea = 1 106 N/mm2.

7. What are the different types of loads that can be applied on mechanical members? Discuss.
8. Draw the stress strain curve for a typical ductile material and discuss the salient features of it.
9. Define the terms
(a) Displacement/deformation
(b) strain
(c) Stress
(d) Isotropy
(e) Homogeneity
(f) Linear elastic and non linear elastic response.
(g) Shear force and bending moment.
