Shape factor is the ratio of plastic moment to yield moment of a given section. It gives the reserve
strength of the section after yielding.
Plastic moment is the capacity of any section derived using the plastic analysis i.e. assuming that
the whole section have yielded and plastic state is reached.
Yield moment the capacity of the section assuming that only the outermost fiber is yielded.

Triangle with vertex upward -2.34 (best section)
Triangle with vertex horizontal - 2
Solid circular section - 1.7
Thing ring - 1.27

3. Shear strain energy theory for the failure of a material at elastic limit, is due to
A. Rankine
B. Guest or Trecas
C. St. Venant
D. Haig
E. Von Mises.
Answer: Option E
The definition of the von Mises yield criterion states that the von Mises stress of a material under
load should not be equal nor greater than the yield limit of the material under uniaxial stress. The
von Mises stress is a criterion for yielding, widely used for metals and other ductile materials. It
states that yielding will occur in a body if the components of stress acting on it are greater than the
criterion.

C.
Strain energy =
D.
Shear strain energy =
B. 100 t tensile
C. zero
D. indeterminate
Answer: Option C
Here if we consider the equilibrium of pt. C,
When we consider equilibrium at B it means a force of 100tN is in the member BD in the opp.
Direction since there is no force acting at any section of the member BC so no force is required to
make the equilibrium at c so the force in the member BC is zero.

A. 4.0 mm
B. 4.5 mm
C. 5.0 mm
D. 5.5 mm
E. 6.0 mm
Answer: Option C
Given:
Load = 1960N.
Area of Wire = ?
A= P/Stress.
A= 1960N/100N/mm2.
A= 19.6mm2.
Dia = Pid2/4.
19.6mm2 = 3.14d2/4.
(19.6*4/3.14)^.5 = d = 5.00mm.
A. 4t tension
B. 4t compression
C. 4.5t tension
D. 4.5t compression
E. zero.

We know deflection of spring= 64 wR^3N/cd^4.
Stiffness = load/ deflection.
So, subtitute R=D/2 & calculate stiffness, we get cd^4/8D^3n.

Answer: Option D
A rolled steel joist is simply supported at its ends and carries a uniformly distributed load which
causes a maximum deflection of 10 mm and slope at the ends of 0.002 radian. The length of the
joist will be,
A. 10 m
B. 12 m
C. 14 m

Max deflection = 5wL4/384EI.
Slope = wL3/24EI.
w = 24EI*slope/L3.
= 10*16/(5*0.002) = 16000 mm = 16 m.

B.
C.
D.
Answer: Option A
B. 3.0t compression
C. 0.5t compression
D. 0.5t tension
E. zero.
Answer: Option C
Reactions are Va + Vb = 5t.
Moment atB = 4t * x - 5t * x + Va * 2x = 0.
Therefore 1t = 2Va.
Hence Va = 0.5t.
40. A spring of mean radius 40 mm contains 8 action coils of steel (N = 80000 N/mm2), 4 mm in
diameter. The clearance between the coils being 1 mm when unloaded, the minimum
compressive load to remove the clearance, is
A. 25 N
B. 30 N
C. 35 N
D. 40 N
Answer: Option C
The question is asked to find the load. Not distance!
p= (64W* R^3)/(C*d^4).
We find out W, load for 1 clearance, between 2 coils.
Between 2 coil, 1 clearance, load= 5N.
Between 8 c
oil, 7 clearance, load= 5x7=35N.
