Pune University Production Engineering 3rd Sem-Strength Analysis of Machine Elements Papers cover a number of topics related to the subject and the student is expected to understand the fundamentals of the subject well. Thus conceptual questions may be asked from topics like numerical on modulus of elasticity, calculation of stress of cylinder when all the required data is provided, questions on diameter bore and percentage of elongation of various geometric shapes, derivation of the equation of thermal stress, finding of the coefficient of linear equation and so on. Most of the paper is numerical and diagram based making it easy to score high marks if the student has understood his concepts well enough. Practice and understanding are the keys to cracking this paper, and other topics from which numerical are common include cantilever beams, shear force and bending moment diagram and so on.
