Text: Stress & Strain Analyses
Assignment 1: Three strain gauges were fixed onto a surface of an automotive frame. Under loading, the readings of the gauges were:
ε₠= Pâ‚
ε₂ = P₂
ε₃ = P₃
a) By using Mohr's circle in conjunction with the analytical method, determine the value of the principal strains and maximum shear strain, and show the state of strain in each condition. Verify your answers using the strain transformation equations.
b) Calculate σₓ, σᵧ, and τₓᵧ using material properties relation. By using the principle stresses and maximum shear stress, show the state of stress in each condition. Also, verify your answers using the stress transformation equations. E = 200 GPa, G = 75 GPa, ν = 0.3
c) Determine the values of the normal stress, shear stress, normal strain, and shear strain at direction Pâ‚„ clockwise from the x-axis and show the state of stress in this condition.
