PART – B (50 Marks)

11 A 14 mm diameter steel rod passes centrally through a copper tube 50 mm external


diameter and 40 mm internal diameter, and 2 m long. The tube is closed at each end by
25 mm thick steel plates which are secured by nuts. The nuts are tightened until the
copper tube is reduced in length by 0.498 mm. The whole assembly is then raised in
temperature by 45oC. Calculate the stresses in copper and steel before and after the
rise of temperature, assuming that the thickness of the plates remains unchanged.
Take ac 16x10-6 per oC, as 12x10-6 per oC, Ec 1.1x105 N/mm2 and Es 2x105 N/mm2. (10)
12 Construct SFD and BMD for the beam shown in Fig. 1. Mark the salient values therein.
Also locate the points of contraflexure, if any. (10)
