DEPARTMENT OF APPLIED MECHANICS ‘Minor I,: AM 140 (Mechanics of Solids) Second Semester, 2000-2001 1,00 Hours Max. Marks 35 ‘Show thatthe principal stresses ata point are characterized by the following: (@) They are the maximum or minimum values of normal stresses on any plane passing through that point (&) Theres no shear stress onthe principal plane Find the expressions for the principal stresses and the orientation of the principal planes. You may use the case of plane stress. (9) [Ata certain point on a steel machine part, measurement with an electrical resistance strain gauge rosere indicated the following: 500 UE, bys. =200 He and &yy =300 UE ‘Assuming the material to be isotropic, find the principal stresses at that point and their orientation with respect to O/-gauge. Data : £ =21 X 10° Kyfen, v~ 0:3 an (@) _Decive an expression forthe volumes strain ata point in a body subjected to deformation o () Appoint in state of plane stress is isolated by thre surfaces as shown, Using the appropriate relations, determine the values of cand t.
