Semester V-Unit Test - I ME 2303 Design of Machine Elements

The document appears to be a practice exam for a machine elements design course. It contains 8 questions testing various concepts of machine design including: 1. Determining the dimensions of structural members like beams and frames given loading conditions and material properties using factors of safety. 2. Calculating stresses in shafts given fluctuating torque loads and determining required diameters. 3. Analyzing stresses in beams, shafts and bars subjected to combined loading and determining factors of safety using maximum principal stress and maximum shear stress theories. The questions cover key steps in the machine design process like stress analysis, factor of safety calculation, and sizing of components.
