Match List-I with List-II and select the correct answer:

A thin cylindrical shell is subjected to internal pressure p. The Poisson's ratio of the material of the shell is 0.3. Due to internal pressure, the shell is subjected to circumferential strain and axial strain. The ratio of circumferential strain to axial strain is: 

When a thin cylinder of diameter 'd' and thickness 't' is pressurized with an internal  pressure of 'p',    is the Poisson's ratio and E is the modulus of elasticity), then

A thin cylinder with both ends closed is subjected to internal pressure p. The longitudinal stress at the surface has been calculated as σ_o. Maximum shear stress at the surface will be equal to:

A penstock pipe of 10m diameter carries water under a pressure head of 100 m. If the wall thickness is 9 mm, what is the tensile stress in the pipe wall in MPa?

A seamless pipe of diameter d m is to carry fluid under a pressure of p kN/cm². The necessary thickness t of metal in cm, if the maximum stress is not to exceed σ kN/cm², is

In strain gauge dynamometers, the use of how many active gauge makes the dynamometer more effective?

The volumetric strain in case of a thin cylindrical shell of diameter d, thickness t, subjected to internal pressure p is:

(Where E = Modulus of elasticity, μ = Poisson's ratio for the shell material) 

From design point of view, spherical pressure vessels are preferred over cylindrical pressure vessels because they

A thin walled water pipe carries water under a pressure of 2 N/mm² and discharges water into a tank. Diameter of the pipe is 25 mm and thickness is 2·5 mm. What is the longitudinal stress induced in the pipe?

Assertion (A): A thin cylindrical shell is subjected to internal fluid pressure that induces a 2-D stress state in the material along the longitudinal and circumferential directions.

Reason(R): The circumferential stress in the thin cylindrical shell is two times the magnitude of longitudinal stress. 

Assertion (A): For a thin cylinder under internal pressure, At least three strain gauges is needed to know the stress state completely at any point on the shell.

Reason (R): If the principal stresses directions are not know, the minimum number of strain gauges needed is three in a biaxial field. 

Circumferential and longitudinal strains in a cylindrical boiler under internal steam pressure are  ε₁ and ε₂ respectively. Change in volume of the boiler cylinder per unit volume will be:

A round bar of length l , elastic modulus E and Poisson's ratio μ is subjected to an ax ial pull 'P'. What would be the change in volume of the bar?

A thick cylinder is subjected to an internal pressure of 60 MPa. If the hoop stress on the outer surface is 150 MPa, then the hoop stress on the internal surface is: 

Where does the maximum hoop stress in a thick cylinder under external pre ssure occur?
