Explanation:

As per theory of thermal stresses, when a body is restricted from free expansion or contraction, it develops internal stresses when subjected to change in temperature.

If a constrained part is heated, it tends to expand. But restriction to movement causes development of compressive stresses within the body.

On the other hand, tensile stresses develop when a constrained body is cooled.

Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Heating of a constrained part leads to development of compressive thermal stresses within it.

A round bar specimen is subjected to a tensile test. After fracture, it is observed that the diameter at the fractured section remains approximately the same as the original diameter. What material was the round bar most likely made of?

A) Mild steelB) Cast ironC) AluminumD) Copper Explanation: As per IS 1608, when a ductile material like mild steel is subjected to tensile test, it undergoes significant plastic deformation before failure. This causes necking at the fractured section, where the diameter reduces substantially. However, brittle materials like cast iron and aluminum do not undergo plastic…
