Deviatoric stress:
Total stress tensor can be divided into:
i) Hydrostatic stress tensor and
ii) Deviator stress tensor
Hydrostatic stress involves only pure tension or compression and produces only
elastic volume changes and not plastic deformation. Yield stress of the metal is
independent of hydrostatic component of stress although fracture strain is
influenced by it.
A deviator stress tensor represent shear stresses and important in causing plastic
deformation.

Read the following instructions carefully.
1. All answers must be written in ENGLISH.

2. This question paper contains TWO SECTIONS: ‘A’ and ‘B’.
3. Section A consists of two questions of the multiple choice type. Question 1 consists of
TWENTY FIVE sub−questions of ONE mark each and Question 2 consists of TWENTY
FIVE sub−questions of TWO marks each.
4. Answer Section A only on the special machine−gradable OBJECTIVE RESPONSE SHEET
(ORS). Questions in Section A will not be graded if answered elsewhere.
5. Write your name, registration number and name of the Centre at the specified locations on the
right half of the ORS for Section A.
6. Using a HB pencil, darken the appropriate bubble under each digit of your registration number.
7. Questions of Section A are to be answered by darkening the appropriate bubble (marked (A),
(B), (C) or (D)) using a HB pencil against the question number on the left−hand side of the
ORS. In case, you wish to change an answer, erase the old answer completely using a good soft
eraser.
8. The ORS will be collected after 120 minutes from the start of the examination. In case you
finish Section A before the expiry of 120 minutes, you may start answering Section B.
9. There will be NEGATIVE marking in Section A. For each wrong answer to 1– and 2– mark
sub–questions, 0.25 and 0.5 marks will be deducted respectively. More than one answer
marked against a question will be deemed as an incorrect response and will be negatively marked.
10. Answer question in Section B in the answer book. Section B consists of TWENTY
questions of FIVE marks each. ANY FIFTEEN out of them have to answer. If more
numbers of questions are attempted, score of the answers not to be evaluated, else only the
first fifteen unscored answers will be considered.
11. Answer for each question in Section B should be started on a fresh page. Question numbers
must be written legibly and correctly in the answer book.
12. In all 5 mark questions (Section B), clearly show the important steps in your answers. These
intermediate steps will carry partial credit.
