Solutions Manual


Solutions to Chapter 1 Problems
S.1.1
The principal stresses are given directly by Eqs (1.11) and (1.12) in which σx = 80 N/mm2, σy = 0
(or vice versa), and τxy = 45 N/mm 2. Thus, from Eq. (1.11),
80 1 pffiffiffiffiffi2ffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi2ffi
σ = + 80 + 4 × 45
I
2 2
i.e.,
σI = 100.2 N/mm2
From Eq. (1.12),
801 pffiffiffiffiffi2ffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi2ffi
σ 80 + 4 × 4 5
II = —
2 2
i.e.,
σII = —20.2 N/mm2
The directions of the principal stresses are defined by the angle θ in Fig. 1.8(b) in which θ is given by
Eq. (1.10). Hence,
2 × 45
tan2θ 1.125
= =
80 — 0
which gives
θ = 24°11' and θ = 114°11'
It is clear from the derivation of Eqs (1.11) and (1.12) that the first value of θ corresponds to σI while the
second value corresponds to σII.
Finally, the maximum shear stress is obtained from either of Eqs (1.14) or (1.15). Hence from
Eq. (1.15),
100.2 — (—20.2) 2
τmax = 2 = 60.2 N/mm

and will act on planes at 45° to the principal planes.


S.1.2
The principal stresses are given directly by Eqs (1.11) and (1.12) in which σx = 50 N/mm2,
σy =–35 N/mm2, and τxy = 40 N/mm2. Thus, from Eq. (1.11),
