Q: What is Strain energy??
Ans.: Strain energy is the energy stored in a body when
strained within elastic limits.
Q: What is the difference between
Ans.:
Pressure=Force/Area. And Stress=Resistive force/Area.
Pressure represent intensity of external forces acting at a
point. But stress represent intensity of internal resisting forces develop at a
point.
Q: What is Truss?
Ans.: Truss is a rigid structure composed of number of
straight members pin jointed to each other.
It can sustain dynamic and static load without any relative
motion to each other.
Q: Types of truss:
Ans.:
Plain truss
Rigid truss
Simple truss.
Q. A vertical column has two moments of inertia (i.e. Ixx
and Iyy ). The column will tend to buckle in the direction of the___________
Ans.: minimum moment of inertia.
Q: What is neutral axis?
Ans.: The neutral axis of the cross-section a beam is that
axis at which the bending stress is zero.
Q: What is Poisson’s ratio?
Ans.: Poisson’s ratio is the ratio of lateral strain to
longitudinal strain.
Its value is always less than one. Poisson ratio is often
represented by 1/m or μ
Q: Can Poisson Ratio be Negative or zero?
Ans.: Poisson's ratio for a cork is almost zero. Yes
Poisson's ratio can be negative. Such materials are called as "auxetics".
E.g. Human ligaments
Q. Poisson’s Ratio is higher in, Rubber/Steel/Wood?
Ans.:
For rubber = 0.5
For steel = 0.288
For wood < 0.2
Thus Poisson’s ratio is higher in RUBBER.
Q: What is Poisson effect?
Ans.: When a material is compressed in one direction, it
usually tends to expand in the other two directions perpendicular to the
direction of compression. This phenomenon is called the Poisson effect.
Poisson’s ratio is a measure of the Poisson effect.
