Strength of Materials - Section 1 (2)

The rectangular beam 'A' has length l, width b and depth d. Another beam 'B' has the same length and depth but width is double that of 'A'. The elastic strength of beam 'B' will be __________ as compared to beam A.

If the tearing efficiency of a riveted joint is 50%, then ratio of rivet hole diameter to the pitch of rivets is

A concentrated load is one which

If the depth is kept constant for a beam of uniform strength, then its width will vary in proportional to (where M = Bending moment)

Resilience is the

A composite shaft consisting of two stepped portions having spring constants k₁ and k₂ is held between two rigid supports at the ends. Its equivalent spring constant is

In order to know whether a column is long or short, we must know its slenderness ratio.

The limit of eccentricity is based upon no tension condition.
