Explain the following types of stresses................

When a section is subjected to two equal and opposite forces acting tangentially across the section such that it tends to shear off across the section. The stress produces is called as transverse shear stress. …………………… From figure Mathematically transverse shear stress is represented as, τ = / Where, F = Tangential force applied A = Area of cross section = ( /4 ) 2 d = Diameter of rivet.

State any four advantages and disadvantages of welded joints over riveted joints.

1. The welded structures are usually lighter than riveted structures. This is due to the reason, that in welding, gussets or other connecting components are not used. 2. The welded joints provide maximum efficiency (may be 100%) which is not possible in case of riveted joints. 3. Alterations and additions can be easily made in the existing structures. 4. As the welded structure is smooth in appearance, therefore it looks pleasing. 5. In welded connections, the tension members are not weakened as in the case of riveted joints. 6. A welded joint has a great strength.

Describe ‘bolt of uniform strength’ with neat sketch

When an ordinary bolt of uniform diameter is subjected to shock load stress concentration across at the weakest part of the bolt i.e. threaded portion (as shown in figure a), it means that greater portion of energy will be absorbed at the region of threaded part and it may cause the failure of threaded portion
