UT Kharagpur, CE21005 final exam @ Autumn 2008 Instructions Total 100 points. 4 questions. Answer all questions. 2. You will get full eredits only if you show all important steps in your solution, Merely writing the right answer without relevant details may not fetch you any point. If you cannot solve a problem completely, write the outline or steps for the solution in order to get partial credits. 3. Ifyou need to make any assumptions, clearly state them. 4. Maintain academic integrity. 1. (40 points). Answer briefly and to the point. (5 points each) a b. c. d. Why is the stress tensor symmetric? What are Lame’s constants? What is Poisson’s ratio? What is its maximum possible value? Under what conditions will the principal directions of stress and strain at an arbitrary point be identical? Ina state of purely hydrostatic stress, how many principal directions are there? Under what conditions would work done on a deformable body by external forces be fully converted to internal strain energy? What is a statically indeterminate problem? What is Euler load in the context of columns? 2. 20 points). 1000 N Each member of the truss on the left has E = 200 GPa, and A=10 mm‘2. Find the displacement of joint A. 1 (CE21005 Final Exam, Autumn 20083 (20 points).The aluminium tube with the multiple cell cross section shown in the Figure below, transmits a torsional moment of 10 kNm. Assume E = 207 GPa, yield stress 250 a 2a a MPa and v =0.25 for the material. es 4 st FE The tube length is 1000 mm. The radius a= 50 mm. The thickness of the wall is 5 mm everywhere. Determine the average shear stress in the wall and the angle of twist. Does the tube fail under max shear stress theory? 4. (20 points). Consider the beam with a semicircular cross section on the left. The wall thickness is r and the mean radius is R. Find the shear centre of the section. 2 (CE21005 Final Exam, Autumn 2008
