    Study Notes

    Mechanics of Materials

    • The minimum cross-sectional area required for a steel rod of 1 m length to transmit a force of 15 kN without stretching more than 1 mm is dependent on the Young's modulus of steel (200 GPa).
    • The unit of strain is dimensionless.

    Stress and Strain Limits

    • The correct sequence of limits in terms of stress and strain is: Proportional limit, elastic limit, yielding, failure.

    Volumetric Strain

    • The volumetric strain for a bar subjected to normal stress on all its surfaces is three times the linear strain.

    Strain Calculation

    • Strain produced in a bar of length L meters that extends by l mm under a tensile force of P is given by the formula: strain = (l mm / L m).

    Normal Stress

    • Normal stress on a circular rod of diameter 5 mm under a tensile load of 500 N is approximately 25.46 MPa.

    Volumetric Strain and Stress

    • The ratio of direct stress to the corresponding volumetric strain when a body is subjected to three mutually perpendicular stresses of equal intensity is 3.

    Hooke's Law

    • The equation representing the increase in length of a circular rod of uniform cross-section A, length L, and material Young's modulus E, when subjected to a tensile force of P is: ΔL = (PL)/(AE).

    Compressive Load

    • The change in length of a 40 mm × 40 mm square cross-section steel bar subjected to an axial compressive load of 200 kN, with a length of 2 m and Young's modulus E = 200 GPa is 0.5 mm.

    Hooke's Law Validity

    • Hooke's Law is valid up to the proportional limit in the stress-strain curve of a material.

    Stress and Pressure

    • Stress and pressure are both measured in units of force per unit area, but they are different in terms of their direction and application.

    Material Elasticity

    • The material among the following that is the most elastic is not specified in the given text, but generally, rubber is considered to be one of the most elastic materials.

    Poisson's Ratio

    • The material for which Poisson's ratio is nearly zero is cork.
    • If Poisson's ratio for a material is 0.5, the relationship between its elastic modulus and shear modulus is: E = 3G.

    Unit Conversion

    • 1000 kN/mm2 is equal to 1 GPa.

    Stress and Strain

    • Stress due to unit strain signifies the modulus of elasticity of a material.
