Answer any five questions. All questions carry equal marks.
Main
Explain different theories of elastic failure and discuss the factor of safety.
Answer
Theories of elastic failure are used to predict the yielding of ductile materials or the fracture of brittle materials under complex stress states. The primary theories are:
- Maximum Principal Stress Theory (Rankine's Theory): Failure occurs when the maximum principal stress reaches the yield strength of the material. It is suitable for brittle materials.
- Maximum Shear Stress Theory (Guest-Tresca Theory): Failure occurs when the maximum shear stress reaches the shear stress at yield point in a simple tension test. It is widely used for ductile materials.
- Maximum Principal Strain Theory (Saint-Venant's Theory): Failure occurs when the maximum principal strain reaches the strain at the yield point in simple tension.
- Maximum Strain Energy Theory (Haigh's Theory): Failure occurs when the total strain energy per unit volume reaches the strain energy at the yield point in simple tension.
- Maximum Distortion Energy Theory (Von Mises-Hencky Theory): Failure occurs when the distortion energy per unit volume reaches the distortion energy at the yield point in simple tension. This is considered the most accurate for ductile materials.
The Factor of Safety (FOS) is the ratio of the material's ultimate or yield strength to the actual working stress. It accounts for uncertainties in loading, material properties, manufacturing defects, and environmental conditions, ensuring the design remains within the safe elastic limit.
A round bar, of length L, tapers uniformly from radius r1 at one end to radius r2 at the other. Show that the extension produced by a tensile axial load P acting at the smaller end is
Answer
Consider a small element of the bar at a distance x from the larger end (radius r1) with length dx. The radius rx at distance x is given by:
Let k = (r1 - r2) / L. Then rx = r1 - kx. The extension dδ of the element dx under load P is:
Integrating from x = 0 to L:
Performing the integration:
Substituting k = (r1 - r2) / L:
Note: The requested formula in the prompt assumes r1 = r2 at the limit or a specific geometry; for a general taper, the derived extension is (P * L) / (π * E * r1 * r2).

A smooth cantilever beam of circular cross section made of hot rolled steel is subjected to an axial load which varies from 7 kN in tension to 5 kN in compression. It is also subjected to a transverse load at the free end which varies from +8 kN to – 6 kN. The length of the cantilever is 400 mm. The material properties are

A cylinder head is held on the cylinder by 8 numbers of bolts. The inner diameter of the cylinder is 350 mm. The pressure inside the cylinder varies from zero to a maximum pressure of 2.5 MPa. The ultimate tensile stress and yield stress are 630 MPa and 380 MPa respectively. The bolts are tightened with initial preload of 1.5 times the steam load. A copper asbestos gasket is used to make the joint leak proof. Take factor of safety is 2.5. Neglect stress concentration factor. Find the size of the bolt.

Design a bushed-pin type flexible coupling to connect a pump shaft to a motor shaft transmitting 32 kW at 960 rpm. The overall torque is 20% more than mean torque. Material properties are as follows:
a) The allowable shear and crushing stress for shaft and key material is 40 MPa and 80 MPa respectively.
b) The allowable shear stress for cast iron is 15 MPa.
c) The allowable bearing pressure for rubber bush is 0.8 MPa.
The material of the pin is same as that of shaft and key.

Find the diameter of a solid steel shaft to transmit 20 kW at 200 r.p.m. The ultimate shear stress for the steel may be taken as 360 MPa and a factor of safety as 8. If a hollow shaft is to be used in place of the solid shaft, find the inside and outside diameter when the ratio of inside to outside diameters is 0.5.
