where J’s and I’s are invariants of the deviatoric stress tensor and the Cauchy stress tensor
4. A 4in by 18in rectangular wooden beam supports an 8100lb load as shown. At section a-
a, the grain of the wood makes an angle of 20deg with the axis of the beam. Find the
shearing stress along the gain of the wood at points A and B.
5. A 3-m by 2-m rectangular thin plate is deformed by the movement of point B to B’ as
shown by the dashed lines in Figure. Assuming a displacement field of the form u=c1xy
and v=c2xy, where in c1 and c2 are constants, determine
a. Expressions for displacements u and v
b. Strain components at point B
c. The normal strain x’ in the direction of line QB
d. Verify that the strain field is possible
