    AER 373: Problem Set 1

    Due: 31 January 2011

    1. (10 points) Consider the two-dimensional state of stress shown here, with θ = π/6:
    T

    xx

    xy
    yy

    (a) Given the surface traction T = (1.0, 3.0) MPa, determine what we know about σ xx , σyy and σ xy .

    (b) Given σ xx = −4.0 MPa, σyy = 5.0 MPa and σ xy = 2.0 MPa, determine the surface traction T.

    2. (25 points) Consider the stress state which in Cartesian coordinates has components:
     
     10 0 −5 
    σ =  0 −20 0  MPa
     
    −5 0 4
     

    (a) What are the three stress invariants?

    (b) What are the mean stress and octahedral shearing stress (NB: 9τ20 = 2I12 − 6I2 )?

    (c) Using Mohr’s circle, determine the principal stresses and directions.

    (d) Using the eigenvalue method, determine the principal stresses and directions.

    (e) Compare the results from (c) and (d).

    3. (15 points) Using a differential element equivalent to the one shown in the course notes, show
    that moment equilibrium implies that the stress tensor is symmetric.

    4. (20 points) Consider a deformation which is simply a rigid-body rotation around the 3-axis.
    Explicitly write down the deformation mapping, its inverse and the differentials, using the same
    Cartesian coordinate system for both the undeformed and deformed states. Calculate the com-
    ponents of the Green and Almansi strain tensors in this coordinate system, showing all algebra.
    Calculate the infinitesimal strain tensor. Comment on why they are different.

    5. (30 points) Consider a two-dimensional cantilever beam of dimensions 0 ≤ a1 ≤ L and


    −t/2 ≤ a2 ≤ t/2 and fixed at a1 = 0. The beam is deformed by applying a constant curvature
    κ along its length. Explicitly write the deformation mapping in Lagrangian coordinates (the un-
    deformed coordinates) and Eulerian coordinates (the deformed coordinates). Calculate the Green
    strain. Consider the Almansi strain but do not calculate it. Why will it be different from the Green
    strain? Calculate the Cauchy infinitesimal strains. In all cases, make the classical beam bending
    assumption that plane sections which are orthogonal to the beam centre line remain plane and or-
    thogonal to the beam centre line after deformation; that is, the beam is bent such that every plane
    parallel to the a1 axis in the undeformed beam is an arc of a circle in the deformed beam.
