  • (B) false
  • (C) ---
  • (D) ---
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) false

Explanation: stress intensity specifies the stress intensity at the tip of the crack.

Q. Fracture toughness does not depend upon geometry of the part containing crack

  • (A) true
  • (B) false
  • (C) ---
  • (D) ---
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) false

Explanation: fracture toughness is directly proportional to a factor y that depends upon geometry of the part having crack.

  • (A) 2
  • (B) 3
  • (C) 4
  • (D) 5
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) 3

Explanation: opening, sliding and tearing are the 3 modes.

Q. A curved beam has neutral axis is curved while loaded and straight when unloaded.

  • (A) true
  • (B) false
  • (C) ---
  • (D) ---
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) false

Explanation: curved beam’s neutral axis is always curved irrespective of the loading.

Q. The bending stress in a straight beam varies linearly with the distance from neural axis like that in a curved beam.

  • (A) true
  • (B) false
  • (C) ---
  • (D) ---
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) false

Explanation: bending stress in a curved beam varies hyperbolically with the distance from neutral axis.

Q. Which of the following are important parts of knuckle joint?

  • (A) eye
  • (B) pin
  • (C) fork
  • (D) each of the mentioned
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (D) each of the mentioned

Explanation: all the mentioned parts are important components of knuckle joint.

Q. Calculate the diameter of pin from shear consideration with maximum shear stress allowed is 40NN/mm² and an axial tensile force of 50kN is acting on the rod.

  • (A) 39mm
  • (B) 44mm
  • (C) 49mm
  • (D) 52mm
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) 39mm

Explanation: as the pin is subjected to double shear diameter (d) = √(2p/π x τ) = 38.80mm.

Q. A knuckle joint can be used in valve mechanism of a reciprocating engine.

  • (A) yes
  • (B) no
  • (C) yes but there are stress probles
  • (D) no as it is very dangerous to use
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) yes

Explanation: knuckle joint can be used till the rods coincide or intersect in a plane.

Q. Cotter joint is used when the members are subjected to which type of stresses?

  • (A) axial tensile
  • (B) axial compressive
  • (C) axial tensile or compressive
  • (D) none of the mentioned
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (C) axial tensile or compressive

Explanation: cotter joint is used when axial forces are applied.

Q. The principle of wedge action is used in cotter joint.

  • (A) true
  • (B) false
  • (C) ---
  • (D) ---
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) true

Explanation: wedge action imparts tightening to the cotter joint.
