PART – A (5X 1 Marks= 5 Marks)
1. Poison’s ratio: lateral strain/linear strain
2. Thermal stresses are due to change in temperature
3. Define lateral strain. δd/d
4. What is statically determinate beam?
The beams like cantilever, simply supported beams are known as statically
determinate beams as the reactions of these beams at their supports can be
determined by the use of equations of static equilibrium and the reactions are
independent of the deformations of the beam.
5. Define impact load.
The load applied with initial velocity.
PART – B (5X 2 Marks = 10 Marks)
6. Define rigid and deformable bodies.
Rigid bodies are the one which does not deform while transmitting a force. Like
chain links. Deformable bodies are the one which deforms with permissible values
while transmitting forces like belt drives.
7. Define Stiffness.
The deflection produced by the body per unit load is called stiffness.
8. Define modular ratio.
E1/E2. It is the ratio of young’s modulus of two materials.
9. What is composite bar?

Composite bar is made of two different materials and it behaves like one unit.
10. Give the relationship between (i) The young’s modulus and rigidity
modulus
(ii) The young’s modulus, rigidity modulus

and bulk modulus
