-
A column that fails due to direct stress, is called
-
The thermal stress __________ upon the cross-sectional area of the bar.
-
A thin cylindrical shell of diameter (d) length (l) and thickness (t) is subjected to an internal pressure (p). The longitudinal stress in the shell is
-
If the section modulus of a beam is increased, the bending stress in the beam will
-
A beam encastered at both the ends is called
-
The bending moment diagram for a simply supported beam carrying a uniformly distributed load of w per unit length, will be
-
The bending moment at the centre of a simply supported beam with a gradually varying load from zero at both ends to w per metre at the centre is wl/4.
-
A body is subjected to a direct tensile stress of 300 MPa in one plane accompanied by a simple shear stress of 200 MPa. The maximum shear stress will be
-
In a thick cylindrical shell subjected to an internal pressure (p), the tangential stress is always a tensile stress where as the radial stress is a compressive stress
-
The horizontal thrust offered by the retaining wall on the retained material is (where w = Specific weight of the retained material, h = height of retaining wall, and (φ) = Angle of repose of the retained earth)
