PART-B (2 x 16 = 32 marks)
Answer ALL Questions

11. What do you understand by yield criteria? Explain the two yield criterias
commonly used? (CO1)
Or
12. Explain Mohrs circle representation of a state of stress in two and three
dimensional with simple sketches. (CO1)

13. The following data pairs (load kN; extension mm) were obtained from the plastic
part of a load-extension file for a tensile test on a extra deep drawing quality steel
sheet of 0.8 mm thickness. The initial test-piece width was 12.5mm and the gauge
length 50mm.

Obtain engineering stress-strain, true stress, strain and log stress, log strain curves.
From these determine: initial yield stress, ultimate tensile strength, true strain at
maximum load, total elongation and the strength coefficient, and strain-hardening
index. (CO2)

Or
14. Determine the instability strain in terms of n for a thin-wall sphere subjected to an
internal pressure P and also find the Maximum pressure relation. Assume = Kn.
