Question Description
1 A Derive the relationship between load, shear force and bending moment.
b Draw the bending moment and shear force diagrams for the beam shown in Fig.Q.1(b). Indicate
the salient values on the diagrams.

Fig. Q.3(b)

2 a Draw the shear force and bending moment diagram for the overhanging beam shown in Fig. Q.3(b) and locate
b

points of contra-flexure if any.

A beam 10 m long and simply supported at each end has a uniformly distributed load of 1000 N/m extending
from the left end upto the centre of the beam. There is also an anti-clockwise couple of 15 kNm at a distance
of'2.5 m from the right end. Draw the S.F. and B.M. diagrams.

3 a A thin cylindrical shell 1.2 m in diameter and 3m long has a metal wall thickness of 12mm. It is subjected to an
b

internal fluid pressure of 3.2 MPa. Find the circumferential and longitudinal stress in the wall. Determine
change in length, diameter and volume of the cylinder. Assume E= 210GPa and =0.3 .
The internal and external diameters of a thick cylinder are 300mm and 500mm respectively. It is subjected to an
external pressure of 4MPa. Find the internal pressure that can be applied if the permissible stress in cylinder is
limited to 13MPa. Sketch radial and hoop stresses distribution across the section.

4 a Stating the assumptions made in the theory of bending, derive bending equation with usual notations.
b A T section of flange 120 mm x 12 mm and overall depth 200 mm, with 12 mm web thickness is loaded, such
that, at a section it has a moment of 20 kNM and shear force of 120 kN. Sketch the bending and shear stress
distribution diagram, marking the salient values.

5 a Obtain an expression for shear stresses in a beam subjected to shear force F. Draw the distribution of shear
b

stress in rectangular cross sectional beam. Prove that the maximum shear stress is 1.5 times the average shear
stress in a beam of rectangular cross-section.
An I-section beam 350 mm x 150 mm has a web thickness of 10 mm and a flange thickness of 20 mm. The
shear force 40 kN, and bending moment of 50kN-m is acting on the section. Sketch the variation of bending
stress and shear stress distribution across the section. Also calculate the total shear force carried by the web.

6 a Prove that a hollow shaft is stronger and stiffer than the solid shaft of the same material, length
and weight.
b A solid shaft transmits 250KW at 100rpm. If the shear stress is not to exceed 75MPa, what
should be diameter of the shaft? If this shaft is to be replaced by a hollow shaft, whose diameter
ratio 0.6, determine size and percentage saving in weight, the maximum shear stress being the
same.
