A steel bar 35 mm X 35 mm in section and 100 mm in length is acted upon by a tensile load of 180 kN along its longitudinal axis and 400 kN and 300 kN along the axes of the lateral surfaces. Determine (i) change in the dimensions of the bar (ii) change in volume (iii) longitudinal axial load acting alone to produce the same longitudinal strain as in (i) E

Line joining liquid phase with liquid and solid phase mixture is known as: a) liquidus b) solidus c) tie line d) none of the mentioned

If you were designing a bumper for a car, would you prefer it to exhibit elastic or plastic deformation? why? consider the functions of a bumper in both a minor "fender-bender" and a major collision.

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.
