UNIT 1
1.

a)

b)

Distinguish between straight beams & curved beams subjected to bending

moment.
A curved beam section of a punch press (with all dimensions in mm) is as shown
in fig. It is subjected to pure bending in its plane of symmetry. Find the proper
value of thickness 't' such that the bending stresses in inner & outer fibers are
numerically equal. Also determine the magnitude of a couple that produces a
fiber stress of 90 MPa in the section.

Design a spring for an elevator shaft at the bottom of which 8 identical springs
are set in parallel to absorb the shock of the elevator in case of failure. The
weight of elevator is 60 KN & the counter weight is 20 KN. The elevator has a 10
free fall of 1.5 m from rest. The spring is made of 25 mm diameter rod.
Determine the maximum stress in each spring, if the spring index is 6 & each
spring has 15 active turns. Take G=84 GPa ..
