1. A sample of isotropic material is subjected to compressive stress σz and
is confined so that it cannot deform in either the x or y direction, as
shown in the following figure

Do stress occur in the material in the x and y directions? If so, obtain


equations for σx and for σy each as function of only σz and elastic
constant ν for the material. (5)

2. Determine the elastic modulus of elasticity for Cu and Al in <111> and


<100> directions using the stiffness values given in the following table

C11 C12 C44


Cu 168.4 121.4 75.4
Al 108.2 61.3 28.5

All stiffness values are in GPa. Use following relation for computing
respective elastic modulus.
1/E = S11 – 2[(S11 – S12] – 0.5S44] (α2β2 + β2γ2 + α2γ2) (5)

3. Find Lame’s Constants and bulk modulus for (a) carbon steel (E = 207
GPa, ν = 0.292) and for (b) aluminium (E = 71 GPa and ν = 0.334). (5)

4. A deep-sea fisherman uses a 1 cm3 lead weight (E = 36.5 GPa, ν = 0.425)


as a sinker for his bait. Calculate the volume of the sinker at a depth of
100 m. The density of seawater is 1025 Kg/m3 and the gravitational
constant is g = 9.81 m/s2. How deep the sinker would have to go to
experience a 1% change in volume. (5)

5. With the use of various resources available to you, explore how elastic
anisotropy is exploited in Gas Turbine blade applications. Your answer
must be unique else no mark will be awarded for this question. (5)

6. Suppose the stiffness for a sample of Douglous wood are known to be

Find the components of strain corresponding to a state of stress of σ11 = σ22 =


σ33 = 10MPa and σ12 = σ23 = σ31 = 5 MPa. (10)

7. Determine the shear stress τx’y’ for the x’ axis inclined at θ = 30 degree to
the x axis. The stress state is given by

270 320
| | MPa
320 −210

If E = 210 GPa, G = 79 GPa and ν = 0.33, compute εz and εxy for the state of
stress given above. (10)

8. The state of stress at a point is


200 20 10
( 20 −50 0 )
10 0 40
Decompose this array into a dilatational stresses and a set of deviator
stresses. Determine the values of Principal deviator stress. (10)

9. A FCC single crystal thin film with orientation shown in the figure below is
subjected to an equibiaxial tensile stress σ. Plastic deformation of this
crystal will occur by slip on the (1 -1 1) plane and along [0 1 1] direction as
shown. Write an expression for the shear stress acting on the slip plane in
the slip direction. (5)

10. A strain gauge measures tensile strain along a given direction through the
change of electrical resistance of thin wires aligned in that direction. Consider
a solid subjected to uniaxial tensile stress, which induces a normal stress ε
in the tensile direction and a normal strain –νε in the perpendicular directions
