Machine Design Questions and Answers – Compound Cylinder & Gaskets

This set of Machine Design Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Compound Cylinders & Gaskets”.

1. Autofrettage is beneficial for the high pressure cylinder.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: It increases pressure capacity of the cylinder and reduces compressive stresses.

2. Autogreggate is a process of ___ stressing the cylinder.
a) Pre
b) Post
c) Over
d) None of the listed
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: It is a pre stressing phenomenon to improve pressure capacity.

3. Can we pre-stress the cylinder by subjecting cylindrical portion near inner diameter in plastic range and outer diameter is still in the elastic range.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: On releasing the pressure, outer portion contracts exerting pressure on the inner portion which has undergone permanent deformation. This induces residual compressive stresses at the inner surface.
