1. a) Derive the relationship between the three elastic constants E, K and G of an isotropic material.
b) A bronze bar 3 m long with a cross sectional area of 320 mm2 is placed between two rigid walls
as shown in figure at a temperature of -20°C, the gap Δ = 25 mm. Find the temperature at which
the compressive stress in the bar will be 35 MPa. Use α = 18.0 × 10-6 m/(m°C) and E = 80 GPa.
3. A T-section beam of dimensions 100mm x 80mm x 20mm is used as a cantilever of span 1m. If it
carries a 5 KN load at the free end, what additional UDL can be applied on it for bending stress not
to exceed 120 MN/m2.
4. A beam of I section 400mm × 200mm has a web and flange thickness 20mm. Calculate the
maximum intensity of shear stress across the section and sketch the shear stress distribution across
the section of the beam, if it carries a shearing force of 300 kN at a section.
6. An overhanging beam ABC with supports at A and B with AB= 6 m and overhang BC = 3m is
carrying a concentrated load of 10 KN at C. Find the slopes over each support and at the right end.
Find also the maximum upward deflection between the supports and the deflection at the right end.
E = 2 x 105 N/mm2, I = 5 x 108 mm4.
7. A thin spherical shell is of 1m diameter and 5mm thickness. Determine the changes in diameter and
volume of the shell when the water under a pressure of 1.5 MPa is admitted into it. Take E=0.2 MPa
and Poisson’s ratio 0.3.
