Failure of a material is called fatigue when it fails At the yield point Below the yield point At the elastic limit Below the elastic limit TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
When an open coiled helical compression spring is subjected to an axial compressive load, the stress induced in the wire is Compressive stress Shear stress Tensile stress Bending stress TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
Tapered roller bearings can take Both radial and axial loads and the ratio of these being less than unity Both radial and axial loads and the ratio of these being greater than unity Radial load only Axial load only TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
A plate with an elliptical hole in the centre, with semi-major axis (a) perpendicular to the direction of loading and semi-minor axis (b) along the direction of loading, is subjected to a pull P. The maximum stress induced at the edge of the hole is equal to (where σ = Stress for a plate with no hole i.e. nominal stress) σ [1 + (b/3a)] σ [1 + (b/2a)] σ [1 + (2a/b)] σ [1 + (3a/b)] TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
Two helical springs of the same material and of equal circular cross-section, length and number of turns, but having radii 80 mm and 40 mm, kept concentrically (smaller radius spring within the larger radius spring), are compressed between two parallel planes with a load W. The inner spring will carry a load equal to 8W/9 W/2 W/9 2W/3 TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
A shaft is subjected to a maximum bending stress of 80 N/mm² and maximum shearing stress equal to 30 N/mm² at a particular section. If the yield point in tension of the material is 280 N/mm² and the maximum shear stress theory of failure is used, then the factor of safety obtained will be 3.0 2.8 2.5 3.5 TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
In designing a key, it is assumed that the distribution of forces along the length of key Varies exponentially, being less at the torque-input end Is uniform throughout Varies linearly Varies exponentially, being more at the torque-input end TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
When compared to the rod of the same diameter and material, a wire rope Is less flexible Has a much smaller load carrying capacity Does not provide much warning before failure Provides much greater time for remedial action before failure TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
The design of shafts made of brittle materials is based on St Venant's theory Rankine's theory Von Mises theory Guest's theory TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
When a beam of rectangular cross-section of width b and depth d, is subjected to a shear force F, the maximum shear stress induced will be F/bh 3F/2bh 2F/bh 4F/bh TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
