Question 1 Explanation:
\begin{aligned} \sigma_{x}^{\prime}&=\frac{\sigma_{x}+\sigma_{y}}{2}+\left(\frac{\sigma_{x}-\sigma_{y}}{2}\right) \cos 2 \theta+\tau_{x y} \sin 2 \theta \\ \text { Here } \theta=60^{\circ} \\ \sigma_{x}&=40 \mathrm{MPa}, \sigma_{y}=35.6, \sigma_{x}^{\prime}=120, \tau_{x^{\prime} y^{\prime}}=-50 \end{aligned}
Substituting the values in above equation, we get

[\sigma ]=\begin{bmatrix} \sigma _{xx} &\tau _{xy} \\ \tau _{xy}& \sigma _{yy} \end{bmatrix}
The necessary and sufficient condition for existence of the state of pure shear at the point P, is
\sigma _{xx}\sigma _{yy} -\tau^2 _{xy}=0 | |
\tau _{xy}=0 | |
\sigma _{xx}+\sigma _{yy}=0 | |
(\sigma _{xx}-\sigma _{yy})^2 +4\tau^2 _{xy}=0 |

Question 3 Explanation:
\begin{aligned} \sigma _x&=80\\ \sigma _y&=-20\\ \sigma _z&=-25 \end{aligned}
Angle of plane of max shear
\begin{aligned} \theta &=\theta _p+45^{\circ}\\ \tan 2\theta _p&=\frac{2\tau _{xy}}{\sigma _x-\sigma _y}\\ &=\frac{-50}{100}\\ \theta _p&=-13.28^{\circ}\\ \therefore \;\;\theta &=31.71^{\circ} \end{aligned}
Question 4 |
An 8 m long simply-supported elastic beam of rectangular cross-section (100 mm x 200mm) is subjected to a uniformly distributed load of 10 kN/m over its entire span. The maximum principal stress (in MPa, up to two decimal places) at a point located at the extreme compression edge of a cross-section and at 2 m from the support is ______
0 | |
1 | |
2 | |
4 |
Question 4 Explanation:
\begin{aligned} V_A+V_B&=80\\ V_A&=V_B=40\\ &\text{[Due to symmetry]}\\ M_A&=(-10\times 2 \times 1)+40 \times 2\\ &=60 kNm \end{aligned}
At extreme compression edge,
Bending stress,
\begin{aligned} \sigma &=\frac{My}{I}\\ &=\frac{(60 \times 10^6) \times \frac{200}{2}}{100 \times \frac{200^3}{12}}\\ &=90MPa \end{aligned}
Direct share stress = 0
Principal stress,
\sigma_{p1}/\sigma_{p2}=\frac{90+0}{2}\pm \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{(0-90)^2+y(0)^2}
\sigma_{p1}=90 MPa
So, pricipal stress =90 N/mm^2=90MPa

5.0 MPa | |
2.5 MPa | |
0.0 MPa |
Question 5 Explanation:
\begin{aligned} \sigma_{x}+\sigma_{y}&=\sigma_{1}+\sigma_{2} \\ \Rightarrow \quad 5+5&=10+\sigma_{2} \\ \Rightarrow \quad \sigma_{2}&=0\\ \text { Now, } \quad \sigma_{1 / 2}&=\frac{\sigma_{x}+\sigma_{y}}{2} \pm \sqrt{\left(\frac{\sigma_{x}-\sigma_{y}}{2}\right)^{2}+\tau_{x y}^{2}} \\ \therefore \quad \sigma_{1}&=\frac{5+5}{2}+\sqrt{\left(\frac{5-5}{2}\right)^{2}+\tau_{x y}^{2}} \\ \Rightarrow \quad 10&=5+\tau_{x y} \\ \therefore \quad \tau_{x y}&=5 \mathrm{MPa} \end{aligned}
Question 6 |
For the plane stress situation shown in the figure, the maximum shear stress and the plane on which it acts are:
-50 MPa, on a plane 45^{\circ} clockwise w.r.t. x-axis | |
-50 MPa, on a plane 45^{\circ} anti-clockwise w.r.t. x-axis | |
50 MPa, at all orientations | |
Zero, at all orientations |
Question 6 Explanation:
Under hydrostatic loading condition, stresses at a point in all directions are equal and hence no shear stress.
Alternatively,
\tau=\frac{\sigma_{1}-\sigma_{2}}{2}=\frac{50-50}{2}=0
Thus, Mohr's circle reduces to a point.
Hence shear stress at all orientations is zero.
Alternatively,
\tau=\frac{\sigma_{1}-\sigma_{2}}{2}=\frac{50-50}{2}=0

Question 10 Explanation:
Point P:
Point P lies on NA, hence bending stress is zero at point P.
Point P also lies at mid span, so shear force, V=0
\Rightarrow Shear stress, \tau=0
\therefore State of stress of point P will be
Point Q :
At point Q flexural stress is maximum and nature of which is tensile due to downward loading. Point Q lies at the extreme of beam, therefore, shear stress at point Q is zero.
\therefore State of stress of point Q will be
