Which scenario represents a typical example of bi-axial stress application?
42. Which scenario represents a typical example of bi-axial stress application?
- Torsional stress on a cylindrical shaft
- A column supporting a vertical load
- Bending stress on a cantilever beam
- Pressurized vessel subjected to internal and external pressures
Answer
The correct answer is: D) Pressurized vessel subjected to internal and external pressures
Explanation
A pressurized vessel experiencing internal and external pressures simultaneously represents a typical example of bi-axial stress, as it involves both normal stresses along different axes.
