Working stress (allowable stress) is obtained as:For an isotropic linear elastic material, only how many independent elastic constants are needed?Elongation of a uniformly loaded prismatic bar is:
, polar moment of inertia J =For a simply supported beam of length L with central point load P, maximum bending moment is:
, maximum bending moment is:
:Max deflection at center of simply-supported beam with central P:Euler buckling load for a column with both ends pinned:
 column is:Slenderness ratio of a column is:Principal planes are characterized by:Maximum shear stress occurs on planes oriented at ___ to principal planes:For pure shear (σ_x = σ_y = 0, τ_xy = τ), principal stresses are:For thin cylinder under internal pressure p (diameter d, thickness t):For a thin sphere under internal pressure p:Yield strength of structural mild steel (IS 226):Modulus of elasticity for concrete (per IS 456):
