1. Answerthe tbllowing: (10 x 1 : 10)

(a) What is l'actor of safety?

(b) State the Maximum principal stress theory.
(c) What is theoretical stress concentration factor?
(d) Define notch sensitivity.
(e) Define nomenclature of the screw thread.
(f) What are the various modes of failure of a riveted joint'7
(g) What is throat in case of welded joint?
(h) Define key.
(i) What are the types of belt drive?
fi) What are the applications of knuckle joint?

2. (a) What are the major criteria for selecting material in machine design ?
(b) The stresses at a point in a body are ox:91 MN/m 2: oy:21 MN/m 2;Txy:84

MN/m2;yield point stress:280 MNAn 2: find the factor of safety:

(i) By the maximum shear stress theory.
(2) By the distortion energy theory.
3. (a) what is stress concentration? And how you can reduce stress concentration?

(b) A hot rolled SAE 1025 steel shaft is subiected to a variable bending moment from
50 N-rn to 100 N-m and axial Ioad varl,ing from 5000 N to 15000 N. the maxirnum

bending moment occurs at the same time when the n'raximum axial load occurs.
determine the required diameter of rod for a FS:2
4 (a) what is bolts of uniform strength?
(b) For supportin-e the travelling crane in a workshop. the brackets are fixed on steel

colunrns as shorvn in Fig-I. The maximum load that comes on the bracket is l2KN
acting verticallv at a distance o1'400 mm fiom the face of the coiumn. The vertical face
of the bracket is secured to a colurnn by four bolts. in two rows (two in each row) at a
distance of 50 mm from the lower edge of the bracket. Determine the size of the bolts if
the permissible value of the tensile stress for the bolt material is 84 Mpa. Also find the
cross-section of the arm of the bracket rvhich is rectangular.

.). a) Two mild steel tie rods having width 200 mm and thickness i2"5 mm are to be

connected by means of riveted butt joint with double cover plates. Design the ioint if
the perrnissible stresses are 80 MPa in tension,65 MPa in shear and 160 lv{Pa in
crushing. Draw the figure of the joint.

b) A bracket canying a load of 15 kN is to be welded as shown in figure-2. Find the

size of weld required if the allowable shear stress is not to exceed 80 Nr'mrn2.

6. Design a cotter joint to connect piston rod to the crosshead of a double acting steanr

engine. The diameter of the cylinder is 300mm and steam pressure is 1 N/ mnr2. l'he
ailowable stress for the nraterial of cotter and piston rod are as clt :50MPa, r:40 MPa and

oc - 84Mpa.
7. A leather belt 9 mm x 250 mm is used to drive a cast iron pulley 900 mm in diameter at

336 r.p.rn. If the active arc on the smaller pulley is 120'and the stress in tight side is 2 N{Pa.
find the po\\'er capacitl, of the belt. The density' of leather may be taken as 980 kg/m3. and thc
coefflcient of fi'iction of leather on cast iron is 0.35.
