SM UNIT I

1. A bar ABCD is made by rigidly connecting three bars of different materials and different
diameters and subjected to loading as shown in Fig.1. Find the stresses in each part of the
bar and total elongation of the bar. Take the values of E for steel, brass and aluminum as
200 GPa, 100 GPa and 70 GPa respectively.

2. A compound bar made of a steel rod 25 mm in diameter is enclosed in a brass tube of 26


mm internal diameter and 32 mm external diameter. The compound bar, 2400 mm long,
is fixed at the upper end and is rigidly fixed to a rigid plate at the lower end. Determine
the stresses in the bars when the combination is subjected to impact loading due to a
weight of 10 kN falling through a height of 5 mm. E for steel = 200 GPa and E for brass
is 100 GPa.
3. A solid brass cylinder 20 mm diameter is rigidly attached and surrounded by an
aluminium tube of internal diameter 20 mm and thickness 5 mm. If the assembly is stress
free at 28°C, find the stresses in the two materials when the temperature rises to 90°C.
For brass, E = 90 GPa and α = 20 x 10-6/°C, and for aluminium E = 70 GPa and α = 23 x
10-6/°C
4. A steel plate of constant thickness 14 mm is having a breadth of 120 mm at one end and
uniformly varies to a breadth of 80 mm at the other end. Find the total extension due to
an axial pull of 100kN at the ends. Take E = 206 kN/mm2 and length of the plate as 900
mm. Derive the formula involved from first principles
5. Write expressions for the relation between i) Modulus of Elasticity and Shear Modulus,
ii) Modulus of Elasticity and Bulk Modulus, and hence derive the relation among the
three elastic constants.
6. Find the minimum diameter of a steel wire with which a load of 50 kN can be raised so
that the stress may not exceed 125 MPa. Find the diameter chosen and also find the
extension of wire if it is 4.5 m long. Take E = 2.1× 105 N/mm2.
7. A copper rod 8 mm in diameter when subjected to a pull of 800N extends by 0.15 mm
over a gauge length of 450 mm. Find the modulus elasticity of copper.
8. A steel tube 45 mm internal diameter, 2.5 mm thick and 5 m long is covered throughout
with copper tube 5 mm thick. The tubes are firmly united at their ends. This compound
tube is subjected to tension and the stress produced in steel is 90 MPa. Determine i)
elongation of the tube ii) stress in the copper tube and iii) load carried by the combined
tube. Take Esteel = 210 kN/mm2 and Ecopper = 110 kN/mm2
9. A copper rod 8 mm in diameter when subjected to a pull of 960 N extends by 0.16 mm
over a gauge length of 450 mm. Find the modulus elasticity of copper.
10. A composite bar of length 900 mm is made up of an aluminum bar of length 450 mm and
the steel bar of length 400 mm. The cross-sectional areas of aluminum and steel bars are
120 mm × 120 mm and 80 mm × 80 mm respectively. Assuming that the bars are
prevented from buckling sideways, calculate the compressive force P to be applied to the
composite bar that will cause the total length of the bar to decrease by 0.4 mm. Assume
the modulus of elasticity of aluminum and steel as 72 kN/mm2 and 200 kN/mm2
respectively.
11. A load of 450 kN is supported by a square reinforced concrete (RC) column of size 300 ×
300 mm. The column is reinforced with 4 reinforcing bars of 20 mm diameter. If the
modulus of elasticity of steel is 16 times that of concrete, find (i) the stresses in steel and
concrete (ii) If the stress in concrete is limited to 5 MPa, what is the cross-sectional area
of steel required to carry an axial load of 500kN.
