THIN SHELLS MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS (MCQ) WITH ANSWERS

THIN SHELLS MULTIPLE CHOICE

QUESTIONS (MCQ) WITH ANSWERS

 

MCQ on thin shells are extremely

important to understand in a better way.

Stresses in a thin shell are uniform.

Stresses do not vary along the thickness of

the vessel. Use of thin vessels is in most of

the industries.
