3.a) Briefly explain membrane analogy for torsion of non-circular shafts.
b) A T-section with flange 125 mm x 20 mm and web 220 mm x 12 mm is subjected
to a torque of 460 N-m. Find the maximum shear stress and angle of twist per
meter length. G= 82 kN/mm
2
.

4. A crane hook whose horizontal cross section is trapezium, 50mm wide at the
inner side, 25mm wide at the outer side and 50mm thick, carries a load of 10 kN
whose line of action is 60 mm from the inside edge of the section. The centre of
curvature is 50 mm from the inside edge. Calculate the maximum tensile and
compressive stresses developed in the hook material.

5. A thin walled box section has two compartments. Each compartment is
120 mm 120 mm measured from centre line to centre line and has uniform
thickness of 12mm throughout. What is the allowable torque if the maximum
shear stress is not to exceed 30N/mm
2
? What will be the angular twist per meter
length? Take G=82 kN/mm
2
.

6. A ring made of 20mm diameter steel bar carries a pull of 12kN. Calculate the
maximum tensile and compressive stresses in the ring. The mean radius of the
ring is 200mm.

7. Explain the method to compute contact stresses between two curved bodies giving
the assumptions made.

8. A plate made of mild steel has a thickness h = 12 mm and covers a circular
opening having a diameter of 200 mm. The plate is fixed at the edges and is
subjected to a uniform pressure p. Determine the magnitude of the yield
pressure and deflection at the centre of the plate. For mild steel take E = 210 GPa,
=0.28, Yield stress = 320 GPa.
