All questions carry equal marks

1 a) Define the terms: 6 Marks

i) Normal stress ii) Tangential stress iii) Ductility iv) Brittleness
b) A flat steel plate is of trapezoidal form has a uniform thickness (t). It's 8 Marks

internal pressure of 4.8MN/m2. Take E = 200GN/m2 and µ = 1/3 and
calculate: i) The thickness if the maximum shearing stress is not to exceed
21MN/m2.
ii) The increase in volume, due to working pressure, if the
