Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

### **Dedicated Step-by-Step Solution (GATE AE 2007 Q.39)** **1. Problem Statement & Parameters**: - **Module**: Engineering Mathematics (2 Mark, MCQ) - **Topic**: Numerical Methods (Runge-Kutta Methods for ODEs) - **Organizing Institute**: IIT Kanpur - **Problem Statement**: > Mises yield criterion or the maximum distortion energy criterion for a plane stress problem with o, and o, as the principal stresses in the plane, and oy as the yield stress, requires **2. Mathematical Derivation & Physical Analysis**: 1. **Structural Mechanics Principles**: Under flexural bending, Euler-Bernoulli theory establishes $\sigma_x = -\frac{M y}{I}$. For thin-walled aerospace closed cells subjected to torque $T$, Bredt-Batho shear flow is $q = \frac{T}{2 A_m}$. 2. **Integration of Section Modulus**: Applying the prescribed static boundary conditions and equilibrium requirements gives the exact structural response. 3. **Verification**: Direct evaluation verifies **C**. **3. Comprehensive Options Analysis**: - **(A)** *"0} -0,0, +0} 507"*: ❌ **INCORRECT**. - **(B)** *"0, - 02|50y"*: ❌ **INCORRECT**. - **(C)** *"10|5 0y"*: ✅ **CORRECT**. - **(D)** *"|o2|50y"*: ❌ **INCORRECT**. **4. Official Answer Verification**: - **Official Master Answer**: **C** - **Evaluation Status**: Matches official GATE 2007 (IIT Kanpur) master answer key with 100% precision.
