21. State the variation of hoop stress in a thick cylinder.

The hoop stress is maximum at the inner circumference and minimum at the outer
circumference of a thick cylinder.
22. How can you reduce hoop stress in a thick cylinder.
The hoop stress in thick cylinders are reduced by shrinking one cylinder over another
cylinder.
1. What are the types of failures?
1. Brittle failure: Failure of a material represents direct separation of particles from
each other,
accompanied by considerable deformation.
2. Ductile failure: Slipping of particles accompanied, by considerable plastic
deformations.
2.List out different theories of failure
1. Maximum Principal Stress Theory. ( Rakine s theory)
2. Maximum Principal Strain Theory. ( St. Venant s theory)
3. Maximum Shear Stress Theory. ( Tresca s theory or Guest s theory )
4. Maximum Shear Strain Theory. (Von Mises- Hencky theory or Distortion energy
theory)
5. Maximum Strain Energy Theory. (Beltrami Theory or Haigh s theory)
20. Define : Octahedral Stresses
A plane, which is equally inclined to the three axes of reference, is called octahedral
plane. The normal and shearing stress acting on this plane are called octahedral
stresses.

1. What are the assumptions made in the analysis of curved bars?

a.Plane sections remain plane during bending.
b.The material obeys Hooke s law.
c.Radial strain is negligible.
d.The fibres are free to expand or contract without any constraining effect from the
adjacent fibres.

11. What is shear centre or angle of twist?

The shear centre for any transverse section of the beam is the point of intersection of
the bending axis and the plane of the transverse section.
12. Who postulated the theory of curved beam?
Winkler-Bach postulated the theory of curved beam.
13. What is the shape of distribution of bending stress in a curved beam?
The distribution of bending stress is hyperbolic in a curved beam.
14. Where does the neutral axis lie in a curved beam?

The neutral axis does not coincide with the geometric axis.
15. What is the nature of stress in the inside section of a crane hook?
Tensile stress
16. Where does the maximum stress in a ring under tension occur?
The maximum stress in a ring under tension occurs along the line of action of load.
17. What is the most suitable section for a crane?
Trapezoidal section.
18. What is pure bending of a beam?
When the loads pass through the bending axis of a beam, then there shall be pure
bending of the beam.
