The uniaxial yield stress of a material is $300$ $MPa$. According to von Mises criterion, the shear yield stress (in $MPa$) of the material is _______
A gas is stored in a cylindrical tank of inner radius $7$ $m$ and wall thickness $50$ $mm$. The gage pressure of the gas is $2$ $MPa$. The maximum shear stress (in $MPa$) in the wall is $35$ $70$ $140$ $280$
A machine element is subjected to the following bi-axial state of stress: $\sigma _x$ = $80$ $MPa$; $\sigma _y$ = 20 MPa; $\tau _{xy}$ = $40$ $MPa$. If the shear strength of the material is $100$ $MPa$, the factor of safety as per Tresca’s maximum shear stress theory is $1.0$ $2.0$ $2.5$ $3.3$
Two solid circular shafts of radii $R_1$ and $R_2$ are subjected to same torque. The maximum shear stresses developed in the two shafts are $\tau _1$ and $\tau _2$. If $R_1$/ $R_2$=$2$, then $\tau _2/\tau _1$ is _______
For steady, fully developed flow inside a straight pipe of diameter $D$, neglecting gravity effects, the pressure drop $\Delta p$ over a length $L$ and the wall shear stress $\tau _\omega$ are related by $\tau _\omega =\dfrac{\Delta pD}{4L} \\$ $\tau _\omega =\dfrac{\Delta pD^2}{4L^2} \\$ $\tau _\omega =\dfrac{\Delta pD}{2L} \\$ $\tau _\omega =\dfrac{4\Delta p L}{D}$
