Assignment # 08 (S2025)
Date: 14/04/2025
Instructions:
1. Submit the assignments on plain A4 sized paper, leave sufficient margins on all sides of the paper.
2. Weightage will be given to neat presentation.
3. Illustrate your answers with neat figures, necessary formulas should be clearly mentioned and all answers should have units.
4. Submit your assignments in the next week (14th to 18th April, 2025) in your respective tutorial sessions only. Late submissions
will be penalised.

1 A circular steel bar with a diameter of 10 mm and a gauge length of 100 mm is subjected to a tensile [2]
force of 10 kN, which causes an elongation of 0.06 mm in its length and a reduction of 0.0018 mm
in its diameter. Determine the Young’s modulus of elasticity and the Poisson’s ratio for the material
of the bar.

2 Determine the Poisson’s ratio and bulk modulus of a material for which the Young’s modulus is [2]
1.2×105 N/mm2 and the modulus of rigidity is 4.8×104 N/mm2.

3 A stepped circular bar with diameters of 20 mm, 15 mm, and 10 mm over axial lengths of 100 mm, [3]
80 mm, and 60 mm respectively is subjected to an axial tensile force of 5 kN. Given that the Young’s
modulus E=100×103 N/mm² and Poisson’s ratio µ=0.32 for the material of the bar, determine the
total change in length and the change in each diameter.

4 A metallic bar 300 mm × 120 mm × 50 mm is loaded as shown in Fig. 1. Find change in volume. [3]
Take 𝐸 = 2 × 105 𝑁/mm2 and Poisson’s ratio = 0.3. Also find the change that need to be made in
4.5 MN load, in order that there should be no change in volume of the bar.

5 A spherical ball made of a material with a diameter of 100 mm descends to a depth of 500 meters [3]
in seawater. If the weight density of seawater is 1040 kg/m³ and the bulk modulus of the material
is 16×105 kg/cm², determine the change in volume of the ball.

6 A steel bar of 50 mm diameter is completely encased in a brass tube with an outside diameter of 80 [3]
mm. The total length of the composite bar is 400 mm. If the assembly is subjected to a compressive
force of 80 kN, determine (i) the stresses in the steel bar and the brass tube, and (ii) the change in
the length of the assembly.

7 A flat steel bar measuring 2.5 cm in width and 5 mm in thickness is placed between two aluminium [3]
alloy flats, each 2.5 cm wide and 10 mm thick, to form a composite bar with an overall cross-
section of 25 mm × 25 mm. The three components are fastened together at their ends. When an
axial tensile load of 2000 kg is applied to the composite bar, determine the stresses developed in
the steel and the aluminium alloy. Given: E steel =2100 tonnes/ cm2, E aluminium alloy=700 tonnes/ cm2.

8 A rigid bar is suspended from two wires of equal lengths, each measuring 1.25 metres. One wire is [3]
1 mm in diameter and made of steel, while the other wire is 2 mm in diameter and made of brass.
A 10 kg load is placed on the rigid bar in such a way that the bar remains horizontal. Given that the
horizontal distance between the two wires is 20 cm, determine:
(i) the stresses developed in the steel and brass wires,
(ii) the elongation in the steel and brass wires, and
(iii) the distance of the load from the steel wire.
Given: Esteel=2Ebrass=210×103N/mm2

9 A flat steel bar of dimensions 20 mm × 8 mm is placed between two aluminium alloy bars, each of [3]
size 20 mm × 6 mm, to form a composite bar with an overall cross-section of 20 mm × 20 mm. The
three bars are fastened together at their ends when the temperature is 75°F. Find the stress developed
in each material when the temperature of the entire assembly is increased to 125°F. Determine the
temperature stresses induced in both the steel and aluminium alloy bars. Given:
Es=210,000 N/mm2 Ea=70,000 N/mm2
αs=6.4×10−6/°F, αa=12.8×10−6/°F
