The strain energy stored in a hollow circular shaft of outer diameter (D) and inner diameter (d) subjected to shear stress is
-
Fatigue test is carried out for
-
Every direct stress is always accompanied by a strain in its own direction and an opposite kind of strain in every direction, at right angles to it. Such a strain is known as
-
The shear force of a cantilever beam of length l and carrying a gradually varying load from zero at the free end and w per unit length at the fixed end is __________ at the fixed end.
-
When a rectangular beam is loaded transversely, the maximum tensile stress is developed on the
-
The compressive strength of brittle materials is __________ its tensile strength.
-
When a closely-coiied helical spring of mean diameter (D) is subjected to an axial load (W), the deflection of the spring (δ) is given by (where d = Diameter of spring wire, n = No. of turns of the spring, and C = Modulus of rigidity for the spring material)
-
In spring balances, the spring is used

According to Euler's column theory, the crippling load of a column is given by p = π2 EI/Cl2. In the Euler's formula, the value of C for a column with both ends fixed is 4.
