1. A tensile test was conducted on a mild steel bar. The following data was obtained from the test: (i)
Diameter of the steel bar = 3 cm (ii) Gauge length of the bar = 20 cm (iii) Load at elastic limit = 250
KN (iv) Extension of a load of 150 KN = 0.21 mm (v) Maximum load = 380 KN (vi) Total extension
= 60 mm (vii) Diameter of the rod at the failure = 2.25 cm. To find: (a) The Young’s Modulus (b)
The stress at elastic limit (c) The percentage elongation (d) The percentage decrease in area.
ANALYSIS OF VARRYING CROSS SECTION
2. The bar shown in fig is subjected to a tensile load of 160 KN. If the stress in the middle portion is
limited to 150 N/mm2, determine the diameter of the middle portion. Find also the length of the
middle portion if the total elongation of the bar is to be 0.2 mm. young’s modulus is given as equal to
2.1 × 105 N/mm2.

PRINCIPLE OF SUPERPOSITION
3. A brass bar, having cross sectional area of 1000 mm3, is subjected to axial forces as shown in fig.
find the total elongation of the bar. Take E = 1.05 × 105 N/mm2.

4. A member ABCD is subjected to point loads P1 , P2, P3 and P4 as shown in fig. calculate the force P2
necessary for equilibrium, if P1= 45 KN , P3 = 450 KN and P4 = 130 KN. Determine the total
elongation of the member, assuming the modulus of elasticity to be 2.1 × 105 N/mm2.

COMPOSITE PROBLEMS
5. A Compound tube consists of a steel tube 140 mm internal diameter and 160 mm external diameter
and an outer brass tube 160 mm internal diameter and 180mm external diameter. The two tubes are
of the same length. The compound tube carries an axial load of 900 KN. Find the stresses and the
load carried by each tube and the amount it shortens. Length of each tube is 140 mm. Take E for steel
as 2 × 105 N/mm2 and for brass 1 × 105 N/mm2.
6. A load of 2 MN is applied on a short concrete column 500 mm × 500 mm. the column is reinforced
with 4 steel bars of 10 mm diameter, one in each corner. Find the stresses in the concrete and steel
bars. Take E for steel 2.1 × 105 N/mm2 and for concrete 1.4 × 105 N/mm2.
THERMAL STRESS
7. A steel rod of 3 cm diameter and 5 cm long is connected to two grips and the rod is maintained at a
temperature of 950C. determine the stress and pull exceed when the temperature falls to 300C, if (i)
the ends do not yield and (ii) the ends yield by 0.25 cm Take E for steel 2 × 105 N/mm2 and α = 12 ×
10-6/0C.
8. A steel rod of 20 mm diameter passes centrally through a copper tube of 50 mm external diameter
and 40 mm internal diameter. The tube is enclosed at each end by rigid plates of negligible thickness.
The nuts are tightened lightly home on the projecting parts of the rod. If the temperature of the
assembly is raised by 500C, calculate the stresses developed in copper and steel. Take E for steel and
copper as 200 GN/m2 and 100 GN/m2 and α for steel and copper as 12 × 10-6/0C and 18 × 10-6/0C.

9. A bar 250 mm long, cross sectional area 100 mm × 50 mm, carries a tensile load of 500 KN along
lengthwise, a compressive load of 5000 KN on its 100 mm × 250 mm faces and a tensile load of
2500 KN on its 50 mm × 250 mm faces. Calculate (i) the change in volume (ii) what change must be
made in the 5000 KN load so that no change in the volume of bar occurs. Take E = 1.8 × 105 N/mm2:
Poisson’s ratio = 0.25.

found to be 0.00775 mm. Find the Poisson’s ratio and Young’s modulus for the material of the bar.

PRINCIPAL STRESS AND PRINCIPAL PLANE
11. At a point within a body subjected to two mutually perpendicular directions, the stresses are 80
N/mm2 tensile and 40 N/mm2 tensile. Each of the above stresses is accompanied by a shear stress of
60 N/mm2. Determine the major principal stress, minor principal stress, normal stress, shear stress
and resultant stress on an oblique plane inclined at an angle of 450 with the axis of minor tensile
stress.

tending to rotate the element in an anticlockwise direction. Using Mohr’s circle determine: (i) the
magnitude of the normal and shear stresses on a section inclined at 40° with the tensile stress; and (ii)
the magnitude and direction of maximum shear stress that can exist on the element. (April/May
