INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SPACE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF AEROSPACE ENGINEERING FIRST QUIZ, FEBRUARY 2014 BTech, VI Semester AE324 AEROSPACE STRUCTURES Il__ Date: 11-02-2014 Time: 09.00 AM — 10.00 AM Max. Marks: 15 N.B.: Answer ALL questions Answers to all parts of each question should be at one place. Marks 1. State whether the following statements are true or false. If the statement is false, cite the reasons, Wrong answer carries negative mark. @ \ AY According to Kirchhof's assumptions for thin plate with small deflection, normal stresses in the direction transverse to the plate can be discarded. Gh Classical column theory for buckling assumes that material obeys Hook’s law on Failure in coulmn, buckling and beam bending is defined in the Same manner. ned or stressed when a thin plate is subjected to inplane 7).
