Instructions: 1. Answer any 2 full questions

2. All questions carry equal marks
3. Use of design data book is allowed
1 (a) Draw and explain the stress-strain diagram for mild steel.
1 (b) Explain the various types of initial stresses in threaded fasteners due to static loading
2. A steam engine cylinder has an effective diameter of 220 mm. It is subjected to a maximum steam
pressure of 1.75 N/mm2. Calculate the number and size of studs required to fix the cylinder cover
onto the cylinder flange assuming the permissible stress in the studs as 30 MPa. Take the pitch
circle diameter of the studs as 320 mm. Also check the circumferential pitch of the studs so as to
give a leak proof joint.
3. A shaft made of mild steel is required to transmit 100 kW at 300 r.p.m. The supported length of the
shaft is 3 metres. It carries two pulleys each weighing 1500 N supported at a distance of 1 metre
from the ends respectively. Assuming the safe value of stress, determine the diameter of the shaft.
4. A line shaft is to transmit 30 kW at 160 r.p.m. It is driven by a motor placed directly under it by
means of a belt running on a 1 m diameter pulley keyed to the end of the shaft. The tension in the
tight side of the belt is 2.5 times that in the slack side and the centre of the pulley over-hangs
150 mm beyond the centre line of the end bearing. Determine the diameter of the shaft, if the
allowable shear stress is 56 MPa and the pulley weighs 1600 N.
