Full Test 3 - EKT Mechanical - Question 21

Maximum principal stress theory is also known as

Detailed Solution for Full Test 3 - EKT Mechanical - Question 21

Maximum principal stress theory (Rankine’s theory)

According to this theory, the permanent set takes place under a state of complex stress, when the value of maximum principal stress is equal to that of yield point stress as found in a simple tensile test.

For design criterion, the maximum principal stress (σ1) must not exceed the working stress ‘σy’ for the material.

Note: For no shear failure τ ≤ 0.57 σy
Maximum principal strain theory (ST. Venant’s theory)
According to this theory, a ductile material begins to yield when the maximum principal strain reaches the strain at which yielding occurs in simple tension.

 

σ1, σ2 and σ3 = Principal stresses   

Maximum shear stress theory (Guest & Tresca’s Theory)

According to this theory, failure of the specimen subjected to any combination of the load when the maximum shearing stress at any point reaches the failure value equal to that developed at the yielding in an axial tensile or compressive test of the same material.

Maximum strain energy theory (Haigh’s theory)

According to this theory, a body complex stress fails when the total strain energy at elastic limit in simple tension.

Maximum shear strain energy / Distortion energy theory / Mises – Henky theory.

It states that inelastic action at any point in body, under any combination of stress begging, when the strain energy of distortion per unit volume absorbed at the point is equal to the strain energy of distortion absorbed per unit volume at any point in a bar stressed to the elastic limit under the state of uniaxial stress as occurs in a simple tension / compression test.

It cannot be applied to the material under hydrostatic pressure.

All theories will give same results if loading is uniaxial.

Detailed Solution for Full Test 3 - EKT Mechanical - Question 28

A boundary layer is a thin layer of viscous fluid close to the solid surface of a wall in contact with a moving stream in which (within its thickness δ) the flow velocity varies from zero at the wall (where the flow “sticks” to the wall because of its viscosity) up to U (free stream velocity) at the boundary. In a flow field, viscous stresses are very prominent within this layer.

Full Test 3 - EKT Mechanical - Question 29

The divergent portion of a venturimeter is made longer than the convergent portion in order to

Detailed Solution for Full Test 3 - EKT Mechanical - Question 29
  • A venturimeter is a device used for measuring the rate of flow of a fluid of a liquid flowing through a pipe
  • The venturimeter always have smaller convergent portion and larger divergent portion
  • This is done to ensures a rapid converging passage and a gradual diverging passage in the direction of flow to avoid the loss of energy due to separation
  • In course of flow through the converging part, the velocity increases in the direction of flow according to the principle of continuity, while the pressure decreases according to Bernoulli’s theorem
  • The velocity reaches its maximum value and pressure reaches its minimum value at the throat
  • Subsequently, a decrease in the velocity and an increase in the pressure take place in course of flow through the divergent part
  • The angle of convergence ≈ 20°
  • The angle of divergence = 6° - 7° → It should be not greater than 7° to avoid flow separation
