Answers to the questions on Strength of Materials. 1. In the cross section of a shaft subjected to torsion, the stress is maximum at what location? C. At the surface of the shaft - The shear stress increases from the center (zero stress) to the outer(maximum stress). - Application: Hollow shaft is a good replacement for solid shaft since only the less stressed portion (the center) is removed. 2. The stress experienced by a body under torsion is… A. Shear stress 3. The stress experienced by a pressurized vessel is… C. Tensile stress -pressure tends to pull (tension) the shell of the vessel 4. The “Maximum Shear Theory”, one of the known theories of failure is also known as… B. Guest’s theory 5. In the stress-strain curve, it is the point at which there is an appreciable elongation without corresponding increase in load. D. Yield point 6. What will happen to the stress in a shaft under torsion if the diameter was decreased to half the original? C. The stress will be
