     Autofrettage is, 

    •  a surface coating process of cylinders for corrosion resistance

    •  a heat treatment process for cylinders to relieve residual stresses 

    • A process of pre-stressing the cylinder to develop residual compressive stress at the inner surface 

    • A surface hardening process of cylinder to improve wear resistance

    Correct Answer
    A. A process of pre-stressing the cylinder to develop residual compressive stress at the inner surface 
    Explanation
    Autofrettage is a process of pre-stressing the cylinder to develop residual compressive stress at the inner surface. This process involves subjecting the cylinder to high internal pressure, causing the material to yield and deform plastically. After the pressure is released, the material recovers elastically, resulting in compressive stresses at the inner surface. This technique is commonly used in the manufacturing of high-pressure vessels and pipes to improve their fatigue life and resistance to stress corrosion cracking.

    In thin cylinders, the longitudinal stress is, 

    •  2(circumferential stress) 

    •  1/2(circumferential stress) 

    • 1/4(circumferential stress) 

    •  4(circumferential stress) 

    Correct Answer
    A.  1/2(circumferential stress) 
    Explanation
    In thin cylinders, the longitudinal stress is 1/2 of the circumferential stress. This is because in a thin cylinder, the walls are much thinner compared to the radius, which means that the stress in the circumferential direction is much greater than the stress in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the longitudinal stress is only half of the circumferential stress.

    The bolts for the cap of big end of connecting rod are subjected to 

    •  only gas force 

    •  only inertia force 

    •  only side thrust   

    •  inertia force, gas force and side thrust 

    Correct Answer
    A.  only inertia force 
    Explanation
    The bolts for the cap of the big end of the connecting rod are subjected to only inertia force. This means that the force acting on the bolts is due to the mass of the connecting rod and the acceleration it experiences during the engine's operation. The gas force refers to the pressure exerted by the combustion gases, but this force does not directly act on the bolts. Similarly, side thrust refers to the force exerted on the connecting rod due to the sideways motion of the piston, but again, this force does not directly act on the bolts. Therefore, the only force that directly affects the bolts is the inertia force.
