Prove that the maximum strain energy stored in a body is given by $U=\frac{\sigma^{2}}{2 E}$ Volume Where $\sigma=$ Stress at the elastic limit. PART - B Answer one full question from each Module. Each question carries 20 marks. MODULE - I
A bar 3 cm in diameter was subjected to tensile load 54 kN and the measured extension on 30 cm length was 0.112 mm and change in diameter was 0.00366 mm . Calculate Poisson's ratio and the value of three modulus.
A steel rail is 12.6 m long and is laid at a temperature of $24^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. The maximum temperature is $44^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. i) Estimate the minimum gap between two rails to be left so that temperature stresses do not develop. ii) Calcula...
