Question 1

In a structure subjected to fatigue loading, the minimum and maximum stresses developed in a cycle are 200 MPa and 400 MPa respectively. The value of stress amplitude (An MPa) is _________

Question 2

Gear 2 rotates at 1200 rpm in counter clockwise direction and engages with Gear 3. Gear 3 and Gear 4 are mounted on the same shaft. Gear 5 engages with Gear 4. The numbers of teeth on Gears 2, 3, 4 and 5 are 20, 40, 15 and 30, respectively. The angular speed of Gear 5 is

Question 3

A band brake having band-width of 80mm, drum diameter of 250mm, coefficient of friction of 0.25 and angle of wrap of 270 degrees is required to exert a friction torque of 1000N-m. The maximum tension (in kN) developed in the band is

Question 4

The piston rod of diameter 20 mm and length 700 mm in a hydraulic cylinder is subjected to a compressive force of 10 kN due to the internal pressure. The end conditions for the rod may be assumed as guided at the piston end and hinged at the other end. The Young’s modulus is 200 GPa. The factor of safety for the piston rod is

Question 5

Consider the two states of stress as shown in configurations I and II in the figure below. From the standpoint of distortion energy (von-Mises) criterion, which one of the following statements is true?

Question 6

A four-stroke engine develops 18.5 kW at 250 rpm. The turning moment diagram is rectangular for both expansion and compression strokes. The turning moment is negative during compression stroke and is zero during suction and exhaust strokes. The turning moment for the expansion stroke is 2.8 times that of the compression stroke. Assuming constant load, determine the moment of inertia of the flywheel to keep the total fluctuation of the crankshaft speed within 1% of the average speed of 250 rpm.
