JNTU B.Tech II STRENGTH OF MATERIALS-I Previous Question Paper (April/May - 2018 - R15)
Note: This question paper contains two parts A and B. Part A is compulsory which carries 25 marks. Answer all questions in Part A. Part B consists of 5 Units. Answer any one full question from each unit. Each question carries 10 marks and may have a, b, c as sub questions.
Part A
Derive an expression for Young’s modulus in terms of Bulk modulus and Poisson’s ratio.
Answer
The relationship between Young's modulus (E), Bulk modulus (K), and Poisson's ratio (μ) is given by the formula:
Derive an expression for strain energy stored in a body when the load is applied gradually.
Answer
For a gradually applied load P, the load increases linearly from 0 to P. The average load is P/2. The strain energy (U) is the work done by the load:
Substituting δL = PL/AE, we get:

A weight of 30kN is supported by two brass rods and a steel rod each 10mm in diameter and symmetrically placed as shown in Figure 1. When unloaded, each rod is 1m long. Assuming E for steel and brass as 205 kN/mm² and 102 kN/mm² respectively, find the load carried by each rod. Also determine elongation of each rod.
