ASSIGNMENT 6

1. Find the principal stresses and the orientation of the principal axes of stress for the
following cases of plane stress

σx = 40 MPa, σy = 0 MPa, τxy = 80 MPa

2. Find the principal stresses and the orientation of the principal axes of stress for the
following cases of plane stress

σx = 140 MPa, σy = 20 MPa, τxy = -60 MPa

3. A rectangular plate is under a uniform state of plane stress in the xy plane. It is known
that the maximum tensile stress acting on any face (whose normal lies in the xy plane) is
75 MPa(σy). It is also known that on a face perpendicular to the x axis there is acting a
compressive stress of 15 MPa and no shear stress. Find the normal stress components
acting on the faces perpendicular to a and b axes as shown in figure 1.

4. Find the shear stress components acting on the faces perpendicular to a and b axes as

are

εx = 800 x 10-6, εy = 100 x 10-6, γxy = -800 x 10-6

Find the magnitudes of the principal strains.


6. With reference to question no 5 find the orientation of the principal strain direction.
7. At a point in a body the principal strains are

εI = 700 x 10-6, εII = 300 x 10-6, εIII = -300 x 10-6

What is the maximum shear strain component at the point?


8. The readings of a 45˚ strain rosette as shown in figure 2 are
