PART – B
Instructions: Part B consists of 3 Units. Answer any one full question from each unit. Each question
carries 8 marks and may have sub questions.
6. The cylinder head is connected to cylinder flange by means of 16 bolts. The bore of the cylinder is 400mm. The
maximum pressure inside the cylinder is 1.25 N/mm2. The material of bolts is plain carbon steel having yield
strength in tension is 400 N/mm2 and factor of safety is 5. Find the size of bolts by considering the effect of
initial tightening and the stiffness factor as 0.6.
(OR)
Find the induced tensile stress in a boiler stay supporting an area 400 mm X 300 mm of the flat end surface. The
nominal diameter of the stay is 60 mm and the pressure inside the boiler is 1.2 MPa. Consider the effect of initial
tightening and the stiffness factor is 0.6.
(OR)
A steel plate, 100 mm wide and 10 mm thick, is joined with another steel plate by means of single transverse and double parallel
fillet welds, as shown in Fig. The strength of the welded joint should be equal to the strength of the plates to be joined. The
permissible tensile and shear stresses for the weld material and the plates are 70 and 50 N/mm2 respectively. Find the length of
each parallel fillet weld. Assume the tensile force acting on the plates
