3. Draw stress - strain diagram for mild steel subjected to tension. Explain the significance
of salient points.
(Dec/Jan 2015)
Solution: A typical tensile test curve for the mild steel has been shown below,
Salient Points of the Graph:
(A) It is evident from the graph that the strain is proportional to strain or elongation is
proportional to the load giving a straight line relationship, This law of proportionality is
valid upto a point A, or we can say that point A is some ultimate point when the linear
nature. of the graph ceases or there is a deviation from the linear nature, This point is
known as the limit of proportionality or the proportionality limit .
(B) For a short period beyond the point A, the material may still be elastic in the sense that the
deformations are completely recovered when the load is removed. The limiting point B is
termed as Elastic Limit.
(C) and (D) - Beyond the elastic limit plastic deformation occurs and strains are not
totally recoverable. There will be thus permanent deformation or permanent set when load is
removed, these two points are termed as upper and lower yield points respectively, the stress at
the yield Point is called the yield strength.

(Dec 2014)
Solution:
When more than one stress level exists in the working cycle, the load cycle should be
divided into number of intervals in each of which the mean and alternating stress can be
considered as constant. The equivalent completely reversed stress should be calculated for each
position. Let N1 be the number of stress cycles before fatigue failure, if only 1 is acting. One
stress cycle will take 1/N1 of the fatigue life and as there are n1 cycles at the stress level, the
proportional damage is n 1/N1 similarly the proportional damage for stress level 2 will be n2/N2
and so on.

THREDED FASTENERS
1. Write a note on bolt of uniform strength
(Jun/July2014)
Solution:
In many applications such as connecting rods, mechanical presses and power hammers, bolts
are subjected to shock or impact loads. In such cases, bolts are designed to absorb maximum
impact energy and also to resist rupture.
When bolts of the usual form are used in such situations, the maximum part of the energy
is absorbed in the threaded portion. The energy absorbed per unit volume is directly proportional
to the square of the stress developed. If the shank of a bolt is reduced to the core diameter as
shown in Fig.4.S.I, the stress 'developed in the shank increases, which in turn increases the
energy absorption in the shank, thus relieving the material near the threads. Thus, reducing
the shank area corresponding to the thread root area results in a design of a bolt of uniform
strength.
The area of the shank can alternately be reduced by drilling a hole of diameter d, as shown in
Fig. The hole dimension d1 should be such that:
Area of the Root = Area of the Shank
Page 22
10ME52
The method of drilling a hole in the shank is relatively more difficult and expensive to
manufacture, that to reduce the outer diameter to the shank.

A shaft is a rotating machine element which is used to transmit power from one place to
another. The power is delivered to the shaft by some tangential force and the resultant torque (or
twisting moment) set up within the shaft permits the power to be transferred to various
machines linked up to the shaft. In order to transfer the power from one shaft to another, the
various members such as pulleys, gears etc., are mounted on it.
